Developed Nation.....

If you have access to Taiwan cable channel, you will watch a lot of report re a girl who was asked to change hospital due to lack of facilities in a big Taipei Hospital. This is how the story goes. A little girl was desperately needing a brain operation, but the hospital was full. After a couple of telephone discussion with his subordinates, the Chief Dr decided to transfer the little girl to another h0spital which is approx. 2-3 hours away. The news got into the press' hand and the public. The Chief Dr was wallup like there was no tomorrow. The City Council looked into the matter and a lot of MP seperately condemned the Chief on TV, the meeting etc etc. The mayor of Taipei requested his deputy to look into the matter overnight.

At this point in time, they are still arguing, scolding and debating.

What would happen if this happen in Malaysia? I have no clue. Because our LIFE IS CHEAP in Malaysia. There are so many unqualified dr and some are not too sure if they really want to be a Dr. Or they have no idea what a Dr is supposed to do. I am not surprised. If I am paid peanut, I cannot like my job that much. Imagine you study medicine for 7-8 years. After working for another 3 years, you become a qualified Dr. If you are working in the public sector, you make about 3-4 k a month.

That is less then what I spend to feed my cat.

Can u imagine a qualified Dr when facing his exclass mate who sell insurance or AMWAY but drive BMW?

Something is wrong with our health care. The system is wrong. The reward is wrong. The discrimination is wrong. This is the fact.

Life is cheap. At least the Malaysians' life are cheap.
