First 2 Months of housemanship
Week 7 as Houseman So I decided to write a little bit to share my experiences these past 7 weeks working as a houseman in Penang. Many months before housemanship, I would read as many articles/blogs/posts on housemanship life to try and get idea of what it would be like and prepare to make it an easier transition. It didn't really help actually, but anyway I will try my best to share what i can XD I chose a hospital on mainland because it's relatively close to my house making it easier for me for accomodation, food etc. Hospital GH Penang would have been a closer option but based on friends and seniors advice mainland seemed like a better option for less workload and better environment. I was so wrong hahaha I started off with medical, agreed to be the busiest department in the hospital. Usually on weekdays the workload is very heavy, sometimes we have to be at the ward by 5am to make sure we review, trace investigations and know our cases by the time our MO's arrive...
