Planning For Future

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

Today I met officers from my sponsor, JPA. There were two of them, En Zikril and En Sharif. I was the first to enter the room. How excited I was. Actually I went early because my friend asked me to help him settle about food for the meeting. We talked a lot especially about future planning. En Zikril said that our future job as a doctor is uncertain. Anything might happen as number of medical graduates is increasing every year. We have to super struggle from now.

One of us asked how if we don't pass the post-graduate interview for the housemanship. En Zikril answered that we have to apply for another interview but also there is still a chance for not getting a job as a doctor even you have graduated as a medical bachelor. So cool huh? Everybody frowned and started to think of what will happen in the future. Some of us may have regretted choosing medicine. Lulz. Then they continued asking any other occasions that might happen. Ah great. They have created many other bad possibilities. This made me feel more like a jerk.

I was thinking that kind of questions were likely made they feel less confident. They scared of not getting work after graduated. The competition is getting heavier and we are still in the same pace. How does that beneficial to us? We already knew about this and we can't do anything about it. It is out of our circle of influence. Stop complaining and worrying, start bulding and influencing what we can.

 I asked my murabbi once how can I contribute to DnT as a doctor. He said that doctors can't do much in hospitals. Either we like or not, we have to face the society directly. He was trying to say that hospitals is not an ideal place to do DnT in this current situation. So he suggested me to build a private hospital and use it maximally rather than working in a time-set government hospital. Hmm. Somehow I accepted what he said but also not satisfied in some matters. 

 After a long-time thinking I concluded that I have no clear future planning. I don't know what specialist should I pursue and what can I do practically to give a maximal contribution to society. Of course giving contributions is not just being a nice doctor, everyone can do that.

 Start planning from now. If you fail to plan, you plan to fail. World is moving faster than you think and it keeps getting faster. Take a Ferrari instead of Proton. It is expensive but worth.

 Peace

Language Barrier?

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم Being a medical student is really amusing. Getting know about human bodies is one of the best things I ever experience in life. No wonder Al-Imam As-Syafie claimed medicine as one of the most important branches of knowledge. In fact, advancement of medical care is always associated with better development of a country as it serves better quality of life. Medical practitioners deal directly with human being. They talk, communicate, touch, examine and even open human bodies. Communication is inevitable, it is a part of daily routines, so as improving communication is obliged for every medical practitioners especially doctors. A medical student who does not give reasonable effort to improve communication skills cannot be accepted. It is completely unethical to touch someone, especially involving private areas, when the patient is not feeling comfortable with the doctor. The patient has no choice that he needs to be examined but the doctor should make the pa

Milestones in Life

We all have milestones in life. From the moment we got out of our mothers' womb, we already had out first milestone, which is moving from womb to world. From that moment onwards, we start crying, sitting, crawling, walking, running and speaking. Then, entering school, college and the list goes on. These milestones actually help us focus and play a role as a motivation for us to reach them. If none of these milestones existed, life would be dull and nonexiciting as we had nothing to look for in short time. However, they are not the end of the story. Instead, just footsteps to reach the final goal. For me as a muslim, my final goal is the hereafter. All of the things I might encounter in this world are not the ultimate goal. "Know that that the life of this world is but amusement and diversion.." (Al-Hadid:20). Knowing this fact is extremely important as to make us realise where to put things on its place accordingly. Believe me, those milestones will keep changing
