Irresponsible doctor on-call

July 17th, 2009 at 8:18 · Filed Under Blogging, Critiques, Days in My Life, Medical, WTF · Comment

Last night, I was experiencing pounding pain on my left eye which was radiating to the back and into my brain that caused headache.

I called ISEC emergency number and spoke to a nurse on duty. She advised me to go to A&E of a nearby hospital to have my eye checked. One of the factor could be infection.

LA took me to Pantai Hospital. After the medical officer had examined my eye, he rang the opthalmologist on-call, Dr. Lim.

From their phone conversation, we could tell that he was reluctant to come. After many times of persuasion and insistance by the medical officer, he finally agreed to come. But we were told that we would have to wait. What an arrogant bastard!

A doctor on-call is a doctor on night duty. He has to respond to emergency cases at night regardless of the parient’s condition. This doctor’s attitude was really irritating. WTF! After some thoughts, I decided to go home without seeing him. I did not want this irresponsible doctor to earn my money. Furthermore, my pain had subsided due to the paracetamol I took before we left home.

Silly mid-term paper

August 16th, 2008 at 16:51 · Filed Under Blogging, Critiques, Education, WTF · 7 Comments

Well, well, well. Many people has regarded MMU a great university. Many of its students have regarded graduating from there gives them highest honor. I always don’t think so.

Have you been thinking that an exam at university level must be difficult? Well, the answer is not difficult at all. Take a look at this snapshot of the recent mid-term paper set for senior students (final year)! This picture was downloaded from the blog of a MMU student.

Riddle: Guess what the big rose will do when it goes crazy?

Silly questions, aren’t they? I know who is that lecturer. Worse is that, he is a senior lecturer and associate dean and the *worst* thing is that he is a doctorate! Silly, silly, silly. The evaluation test that I gave to my scholarship candidates was even tougher than this. I wonder how he got his doctorate and at what standard he has got his doctorate? This reflects the inferiority of tertiary education in Malaysia.

Actually, I did not want to write a post like this anymore. I don’t want a post like this to pollute my blog. But I think it over under someone’s (a student) request. He says people need to know what quality this university has. Let’s not mention it anymore. It is a waste of time and an eye sore, really.

Tycoon or dick heads?

Dressing is really a knowledge for both men and women. Dressing reflects professionalism and social status of the person. Those youngsters in the universities lack dressing knowledge. Universities enforced dress code to prohibit sandals, shorts etc in campus but that does not do any help in students’ dressing.

I read on a blog about a comment by Nemesis, where he described some university students as dick heads. His comment was deleted later because he used the offending term: dick head. Well, I read about it and had a good laugh.

Problem still persists

June 30th, 2008 at 22:28 · Filed Under Autos, WTF · 1 Comment

WTF! I spent around RM1,000 for the repair and although my car is more powerful than before after replacing a new flywheel but the problem still persists. I will have to wait until Thursday because I am going to KL to conduct an Ada Workshop. Now, I am suspecting the problem is caused by the valve gap. The knocking sound during under-powered acceleration is still audible.

(Repost)

After a successful imposition of library fee, now MMU grubs for more! The latest announcement that MMU is planning to impose an annual IT service fee of RM100 from each student starting this trimester has exasperated everyone. Complaints are heard everywhere. But look, the Finance Division can’t hear you; the President can’t hear you. The voice of SRC alone is too soft. Now we need to borrow the foreign force to amplify our voices!

There will be a press conference held at DAP Dun Ayer Keroh Service Centre on this coming Thursday. Press and media will be present at the conference.

Date : July 3, 2008
Time : 12:30PM
Venue : 63-2, Jalan DB1, Taman Bukit Beruang Indah, 75450 Bukit Beruang. (Same row with US Pizza, second last lot)

反对MMU收费新闻招待会

June 30th, 2008 at 10:09 · Filed Under Conferences, Critiques, Education, WTF · Comment

（转帖）

MMU强收每位学生RM60的图书馆费还不够，居然还得寸进尺想再收取每人RM100的IT服务费，岂有此理？消息一放，怨声四起。但是，在网站上叫骂，有用吗？MMU的高层可晓得你对他们的不满？单靠SRC替我们请愿，有用吗？我们有近两万人的学生，为何只靠那几十位？我们自身的权利，应当由我们自己争取，而不是单靠SRC，因为到底付钱的是我们。试问SRC能为我们承担吗？现在让你站出来发言的机会来了。这个星期四在Ayer Keroh区民主行动党服务中心将有一项新闻招待会让MMU学生有机会发表有关课题和其它不合理的课题。多家媒体将出席这项招待会。

日期：3/7/08

时间：12:30PM

地点：63-2, Jalan DB1, Taman Bukit Beruang Indah, 75450 Bukit Beruang. (和US Pizza同排, 最后第二间)

Dead twice!

April 4th, 2008 at 13:00 · Filed Under At Home, Blogging, Critiques, Days in My Life, Family, Food, WTF · 5 Comments

Our Princess bread maker came back yesterday from Pensonic service center after almost 4 weeks of warranty claim. Read about the first warranty claim here. According to the service center, they had baked a cake to test if it was working. So, I went home with the bread maker happily. But when I was coaching half way through, LA called to let me know that it was not working. The kneading blades were not turning at all. Another waste of ingredients.

This morning I switched on the bread maker without any ingredients in it. It was not working. I left it turned on for almost an hour and it was not working. So I called the Pensonic service center and one of the lady told me immediately that their headquarters called them to get the unit back to have the circuit board replaced. They offered to collect from my house. Hmm… otherwise I would have the chance to shoot them.

Anyway, Pensonic service vehicle came to collect after noon. Next time when it comes back, it better works. Otherwise, I am going to take this to consumer court and have them to reimburse the material wasted.

If you are planning to buy a bread maker, don’t buy Princess bread maker! I hope Princess will be reading this blog. Beef up your quality, Princess!

Our Princess Bread Maker is dead!

March 17th, 2008 at 11:51 · Filed Under At Home, Blogging, Critiques, Days in My Life, Family, Food, WTF · 8 Comments

WTF! It is only about one month old and LA had only baked 3 loafs of bread and the spinners was dead! She got it on February 11. Read here. She discovered that this morning when she was trying to bake a loaf of bread for her mother and all of us.

We chose Princess among other brands like Kenwood and Sharp. We chose Princess because it was better (solid) built (and look nicer) and the pan was bigger. But it is so fragile and of low quality. It is dead for just one month and baked 3 loafs!

I will send the unit back for warranty claim this afternoon. I will demand a new unit swap. No repair is acceptable by my standard.

The 12th Malaysia General Election is here on March 8. Posters and flyers everywhere. Useless politicians whom you don’t see them all year round suddenly appear in markets, streets and even going door-to-door. WTF!

With all the happenings in Malaysia, I hope dear Malaysians know who they are going to vote for this time. Here is a video for you to laugh and relax. So, no headache, just relax and cast your vote wisely this time.

Another case of sub-standard health care

February 6th, 2008 at 23:59 · Filed Under Critiques, Days in My Life, Friends, Injuries, Medical, WTF · 1 Comment

I wrote an article about sub-standard health care provided by government hospital sometime ago. Read it here. Today, we experienced another with our friend, Richard, who had a terrible accident last night.

We were going to grandma’s to help prepare the CNY eve dinner. It was about 1100+ when we arrived at the general hospital. Richard’s leg had been plastered without any surgery. LA and I were shocked and we got further details of what the specialists said from Richard. He told us one female specialist said he needed a surgery and the other male said no need surgery. WTF! What specialists were they? Were they qualified? I doubted.

We confirmed with a few friends who worked in hospital and they told us surgery was necessary to repair bone fractures. The earliest surgery the general hospital could schedule for Richard was next Thursday. It would be 10 days after his accident! WTF! He could have infection and had his leg amputated! We quickly provided him options to seek professional medical treatment in private hospital. He was concerned with insurance claims and the medical expenses. Private health care is many times more expensive than government hospital. I helped him to sort out some insurance doubts and advised him to decide quickly because today was CNY eve and there would be followed by two public holidays and weekend. Charges could be double or triple in operating theater and medical fees.

We waited until about 1645 and he finally called me that he had decided to seek professional medical treatment at private hospital. Without any delay, LA called her ex-colleagues in private hospital and arranged an ambulance and informed the doctor to standby.

By 1730, he was transferred to Putra Specialist Hospital and was under Dr. Ramu’s care. Surgery was scheduled at 2100 and after the CNY eve dinner, I went to see him at around 2000. Richard’s parents had gone home for dinner and he was alone. Poor Richard. I could understand his loneliness and fear as I had experience a surgery in 2006.

Before 2030, the nurses came in with an OT wheeled bed. They changed him. He was too embarrassed to get naked in front of the female nurses (his first time in front of female a virgin I supposed ) He finally submitted to the sweet persuasion of the nurses. There gone his virginity! LOL. I accompanied him to the OT waiting area. That’s the furthest I could go. I comforted him and saw him being pushed into the OT. I went home and called to inform his parents.

I called his sister around 2350 and she told me Richard was soundly asleep and had not waken up after the surgery. I was relieved to hear he was fine after his surgery. Get well soon, my friend.

An encrypted message

My blog has received many visitors over the passed years and some people is actually watching me on my blog. A personal blog is to express my own feelings; happy, angry, sad or delighted. Why must I just only express happiness and only positive thinkings and not the negatives? A negatives thinking or writing does not necessarily imply any negative behavior. Here is a piece of a message, a hell of a message (extremely strong) dislikes by some people:
