Between calls and patients...

i just had to go to the emergency department to see an 18yr old with a right peritonsillar abscess
the good thing was that these are the very few times that the emergency MO got the diagnosis right..
so i wasn't pissed off at all when i got there..
that is until i met the patient..
she was unwilling to speak, eat or open her mouth..
she kept the abscess for the past 1 week..
seriously ticked me off..
baik balik rumah and keep it another week je if camtuh..
i see that with a lot of patients..waiting until the last min before they actually come to hospital..
really Malaysian culture..
when will we change..

p/s: thank god i've got a place to vent..this 'service with a smile' thing takes a real big chunk out of you if you have to deal with people's stupidity..
