Moses October 31, 2012 - 2:53 pm My father was hoeatiplizsd last year in a government hospital at the lowest class, for diabetic wound to his foot. The stay in the hospital (a Malaysian public hospital) may not be a five star treatment like those of premier private hospital but it was ok. The staffs did what they had do and was polite to the best of their ability.While there, and being a teaching hospital as I believe most public hospital are, there were endless number of students in both medicine as well as those from the nursing classes to practice what they had learned in class and try to understand more about human health and their causes and effects. I have no problem with that since they need to what they had to do. Nevertheless, sometimes it does get on my nerve in observing, how the persistence questioning about the medical history of the patient is paramount and once it is accomplished, just an about turn and towards the next patient in the ward than how the person is.Nevertheless, each person irregardless of their chosen field, medical doctor, dentist, or what you prestigious field of work, will have to find it themselves to connect with people and how to transform their profession into something noble as much as it is with prestige.This come to mind the story of Ayrton Senna and how his own professional field of work has been change upon his death with thoughts on driver safety for example rather outright needs for speeds and thrill.For whatever reason, Richard Teo has been put into our path to be a sign that there is something more profound than what we think ourselves are.Rest in peace, Richard.
