My first day at work story

So the awaited day had finally arrived and gone..and oh my it was eventful. I supposed I wasn't expecting this much trouble coming back serving my country.
I thought it was just like reporting at any new hospital.

But boy was I wrong. Working in Malaysia is a whole different ballgame altogether.

Everything here is different! There's no clear guideline or rules, you have to fish it out yourself by talking to the RIGHT person! I have been going round in circles while having no clue what I am entitled for. Yup, after being 'sudu'ed for so long, I feel so Stupid.

I literally 'menggigil' talking to the admin staff. I think it was fear of the unknown more than anything else. Then she showed me around a bit and hand me over to a 'senior' doctor who happened to be 2 years my junior.

Everyone was friendly and there's a smile on everyone's lips each time I was introduced. Then he showed me the emergency room, and I thought, Oh I can handle this.

I was WRONG! Again!

Damn why do I have to study abroad? Why does my government send me out to come back knowing ZERO?

Malaysian doctors are like E.R and Grey's Anatomy, even the housemens! So ninja la here!

My mind is still reeling from what I see during my days of tagging mu juniors. So 'malu' when I have no clue what to do when an emergency happened and they just jumped to it like experts!

Right at this moment, it is overwhelming and probably to much to handle. I have to decide whether I can push through it despite the million obstacles ahead or to start over again
