I Hope Not ALL Doctors In Malaysia Are As Stubborn As Cytusm

The last 2 weeks have not been smooth sailing for me. Hence, my post my sound a little harsh but I believe it should be written as such.

For someone to say I am exaggerating and a pharmacist (damm, don’t even take the trouble to find out), i might as well as call Cytusm a nurse who doesn’t know what the hell he is talking about. Now, don’t defend and say you are a doctor, because you yourself said it, does it matter?

This is what you have posted on your blog comments on 13th September :

Dear Fat4, I am not interested to know whether you are a pharmacist or doctor. Where I graduated from is also irrelevant. What’s more relevant is I work in the government hospitals that practice total separation of dispensing. I am illustrating facts that are happening in the local setting. No point keep comparing Malaysia with Australia. I am in no way implying that doctors are always superior but the fact is, the system I am working in right now is nothing more than some “third world medicine”. I believe I am more than qualified to comment on what is relevant in my own medical community.

Ok, let us go thru the points one by one. Where you graduate is important because it will show that you have a TOTAL lack of understanding on how dispensing separation works. Just because you have seen some half wit local hospital settings, you presume with all your might intent and haughtily declared that YES, dispensing are for dummies. So where you graduate from is important. And let me say, I truly believe after a few conversations with you, you must be an indian graduate doctor. Though personally I have nothing against them and in fact wouldn’t mind protecting some of them who are much better than graduates from elsewhere. But why do i harp on that issue, and why do you want to escape from that issue? because truth is, you graduate from india and has NO experience in any country with dispensing separation. So i don’t know how the hell you are qualified to talk about something which you have NO experience of. Kind of weird right?

So go, quickly look for people who knows about dispensing separation in other countries and ask them to tell you how it works. Don’t second guess, it will really make you look bad. And I am really worried for the general public that with your “narrow vision”, you are treating them. Doctors are taught to be more open minded and always bearing in mind on how the system can be improved. And you, my friend, is sooooo katak under the tempurung that you do give doctors a bad name. No wonder I do not wish to practise in Malaysia.

And how do you know I have no local experience? You are once again assuming. Fact is, you work in JB, my hometown and in the hospital I was born in, and yet I do not have any local experience? I have worked with the medical community here and because of that fact, I can safely tell you once again, the doctors in Malaysia have massive ego problem. It is like, “are you the doctor or am i?” I hear that comment a million and one time.

You may be a good doctor, but the fact that you persist and refuse to believe that the system should change would remove you from the ability to comment fairly. Have I hit the nail in the coffin? I hope so and i really hope for your sake, you would stop championing the idea that doctor knows all and pharmacist should just sell medication.
