Part 1 – Life As A Peri Medical House Officer In Hospital Umum Sarawak | The Emergency Department

Related Posts:

Upon entering the Medical Posting, I was stationed into the “Peri-Medical Pool”. My “birthplace”, so-called.

Prior to entering the Medical Posting, many of my colleagues commented that the Peri-Medical pool is probably one of the worst place to enter considering that it is rather hectic, busy and messy, not to mention the joblist is never ending.

The working shift for a Medical House Officer is as such:

Short Day (SD): 7am till 6pm
Long Day (LD): 7am till 10pm
Night Shift (ON): 8pm till 9am

The Emergency Department in Hospital Umum Sarawak is rather huge and consists of:

Green Zone
EDAU
CSSD
Yellow Zone
Yellow Respi Zone
Green Yellow Zone
Red Zone I
Res Zone II
Decon

Usually a House Officer is allocated to take care of more than one zones.

For example:

Green Zone / EDAY / CSSD
Yellow Zone / Green Yellow Zone
Red Zone I / Red Zone II / Yellow Respi Zone

When the amount of manpower is high, the job gets done quickly and keeping track of the patients is easier.

However, in days where we are stretched thin it is rather difficult.

The Day Shift

Since I entered the Peri Medical Pool on my Day 1 of tagging in the Medical Posting, my working hours were from 7am till 10pm every day till I offtagged.

I begin my day by first tracing the casenotes of the patients in the zone I am allocated to, snap pictures of the chest x-rays, any relevant radiological reports as well as to trace their bloods.

If bloods were not taken or not in the system, we would then proceed to “summon” the post-night team for help with their bloods.

After all the patients have been traced and the Google Lists have been updated (this is to aid us during our rounds as well as following up on their location later, to ensure that they are not being missed), then I would proceed with my morning reviews.

The morning reviews are just as usual as any morning ward reviews, rounds with the Medical Officer and Specialists and finally carrying out any active joblists.

Since we are in the emergency department, there is usually no afternoon reviews. It depends on the medical officer. Most of the time, rounds are just once daily.

After we are done with our morning joblists, we have to actively screen through the patients in our allocated zones as there is constant movement of the patients in both in and out of the emergency department.

Thus, this means assisting the current on-call team for the day with any STAT bloods or STAT radiological requests as well as updating their progress.

On most days, it is manageable despite the chaos. However, on days where we are lacking in manpower, the difficulty sets in.

The Night Shift

The night shift begins at 8pm till 9am the following day or until we are done with our “summons”.

I was blessed enough to have gone through perimedical with a partner. Thus, there were two House Officers allocated for the night shift.

As night House Officers in Peri-Medical. We are expected to continue screening through all the casenotes for any new joblist or patients in all the zones in the Emergency Department as well as to assist in any procedures, take STAT bloods or request STAT radiological procedures.

In addition to that, we also have to cover the main building and the side building. This means, if there are any medical patients lodging in non-medical wards, we are in charge of them as well. Most of the time, it is just new transfer ins, sometimes, it is attending to any acute issues.

This is then followed by taking the “coming mornings” or bloods of the stranded patients in the Emergency Department of the lodging patients.

The amount of patients in the Medical Department is extremely high and thus, the medical patients can be stranded up to days in the Emergency Department which can even last till they are being discharged.

Thus, this ensures that the patients are being continued on their treatment irregardless of their location within the hospital.

The night shift as a perimedical house officer can get rather hectic if there are back-to-back influx of new patients in the Emergency Department, tons of coming mornings as well as acute issues in the ward.

In the morning, the “summoned” list can get rather extensive and chaotic as well and can be rather endless.

Hence, on top of the constant walking about the whole hospital, it can get rather tiring. But like I said, it is doable and manageable.

In fact, I enjoyed life as a perimedical house officer a lot.

If you are due to join Peri-Medical, fret not. Keep yourselves equipped with necessary forms and just work quick and as fast as you can.

On some days, one might get lost in the sea of chaos. However, stay strong and know that help is always within reach and that you are not alone.

Working on New Year’s Day (2025)

Related Posts:

This will be the second year in a row that I’ve chosen to work on New Year’s Day. If you’ve read my previous similar article last year, I’ve mentioned how my father has this tradition of working on New Year’s Day every year, ever since he started working at the age of 18. It is something that I’ve adapted as well.

This year, I began my year in the Department of Medical which is my Fifth Posting in my Housemanship Journey. I entered this department on the 11th of December last year.

Having just off-tagged the week before, I was still allocated in my first pool which is the Perimedical Pool.

Looking back as it is currently April 2025, at the time of writing this article, I do not quite remember where I was allocated to. I think that I was most probably taking care of the stranded Medical patients in the main building.

Thankfully, I remembered it not being a hectic day and I was allocated the “short day” shift, meaning that I had the opportunity to return home at 6pm.

Considering it was New Year’s Day which is a Public Holiday here, things were rather slow and tuned down.

Thus, it was a rather slowed down and uneventful day, ending with me returning home on time and unwinding early.

Surviving Tagging And Finally Celebrating Christmas In The Medical Posting – Housemanship Diaries

Related Posts:

In the Medical Posting, seniors were required to tag for a minimum of 10 days prior to off-tag while juniors had to tag for a full 14 days.

I was due to have my off-tag assessment and in the Medical Posting, we were required to off-tag with Physicians, meaning the specialists.

Tagging everyday in the Medical Posting was rather annoying for me since we had to stay until 10pm and being a regular early riser, I would start feeling sleepy around 8pm as that is the time I start to unwind and go to bed.

However, I can’t because I am still tagging. On top of that, since I am tagging, I would be too exhausted by the time I reach home to even consider studying. I had to prioritise my sleep more or I would crash.

Thus, I tagged for a total of 12 days which consisted of two off days. Thus, in reality, I only actually tagged for 10 full days.

In order to officially off-tag, I had to have my logbook signed by the physician who assessed me as well as to have each procedure filled and countersigned by the medical officers.

Long story short, I finally off-tagged on Christmas Eve and did not realised that I have been allocated an off day on the 25th of December.

This was perfect as my parents flew in on the 24th night. Thus, upon having officially off-tagged, I left and started getting ready to travel to the airport to meet my parents.

The following day of course was Christmas which was well spent with my parents.

My First Day In Medical Posting – Tagging Day 1 | Housemanship Diaries

Tell us about your first day at something — school, work, as a parent, etc.

Finally, my much awaited posting… Medical!

Ever since I was a first poster, I have always looked forward towards the Medical Posting but one I decided to keep as my last as I wanted to “learn“ and understand the posting rather than just “float” through.

This served as a disadvantage in other postings as when it came to simple management of hyperkalemia or hypokalemia, I wouldn’t know, neither hypoglycaemia or hyperglycaemia.

Instead, I simply memorised my way in terms of the simple management and “referred to Medical” rather than actually learning to correct them myself in other postings.

Thus, I went complex and complicated first prior to building my way up.

My first day in this much awaited posting was on the 11th of December 2024. I had just completed the Surgical Posting and was on a 5-days-break.

On my first day, I was allocated into the “Perimedical Pool”. Deemed as probably the “worst place” to be allocated in. Thus, as usual, the fear starts creeping in.

I started asking around in regards to my job scope as well as the superiors.

Most of them advised to just arrive on time, which I did, at 7am sharp.

That morning, I was allocated to handle the “Yellow Respi” zone of the Emergency Department.

Thankfully, I had a good friend who was my partner for the day.

We began with tracing x-rays of the patients as well as their blood investigations.

After we have gone through all of the patients, we began with our morning reviews while awaiting our medical officer and specialist.

The medical officer arrived and started reviewing the patients with my friend. Here I was, on Day 1, extremely blur.

I introduced myself to the medical officer and he proceeded to tell me to go about my own reviews while he assessed the other patients with my friend.

Alright, here we go again, just like in every posting. Just how and what am I going to review?

Soon, the specialist came and I proceeded to follow the rounds as I was used to in the Surgical Posting where we all followed the grand rounds.

Instead, I was again asked to proceed with reviewing the other patients in the other cubicle while they go about their rounds.

Feeling quite lost and left out, I proceeded as such. Before I knew it, I reviewed all the patients in that particular cubicle just in time when the medical officer and the specialist came.

Thus, I started presenting and writing, still being tuned to the work culture in the Surgical Posting.

Just like rounds in the other postings, we presented, followed, write and after rounds, proceeded with discharges and carrying out the active joblists.

Surprisingly, I had time for lunch.

Afternoon rounds started at 2pm with just the medical officer and my superior was more than kind enough to start explaining and teaching me as to why certain things are as such.

After the PM rounds, I proceeded to screen through the casenotes and update the list of patients in my zone as well as to take any STAT bloods. Before 6pm, I went for my early dinner.

Considering I was tagging, I had to stay till 10pm whereas the rest who are “Short Day” or “SD” went home by 6pm. Thus, from 6pm till 10pm, I was actively screening through the casenotes in the Yellow Zone, Yellow Respi Zone, Red Zone, Red Zone 2, CSSD, EDOU, Green Yellow Zone and updating the list as well as to take any needed STAT bloods which mainly included blood cultures.

A little before 10pm, I approached one of the medical officers to get my signature for the day and went home.

That concludes my first day of tagging in the Medical Posting which surprisingly turned out rather well. For the first day at least.

My Morning Routine Being A House Officer Leader In The Surgical Posting | Housemanship Diaries

Related Posts:

There are three main leaders in the Surgical Posting. One is in charge of curating the weekly schedule, the other, in charge of ward and cubicle / bed allocations as well as to reallocate if there are any people who took emergency leaves or medical leaves and the third one, in charge of our attendance at work.

I was the daily allocator. Being the “allocator”, I would be in charge of designating the house officers to the selected cubicles of both the male and female surgical wards (MSW and FSW), the Peri, EMOT and ETD as well as to look for substitutes if there are any last minute changes or leaves.

Usually, I will prep my allocation in advance after the schedule leader has done the schedule and make necessary changes along the way. The leader in charge of the schedule usually determines which person works the night shift and when as well as to approve any leaves. Usually, the house officers will be divided into their respective wards.

The night before, I usually run through the suggested allocation in the “Leaders Group” with the medical officers in charge of the House Officers to screen through.

After receiving the green light from them or making necessary adjustments, I would then upload the list in the House Officer’s group. Thus, they would then know where they would be covering.

The list is usually sent in the “MOHO” group, meaning the group containing the House Officers and Medical Officers at 6:30 a.m.

Thus, I would wake up and be on standby at 5am everyday, even on my off days as I would wait for any messages should anybody take medical leaves or emergency leaves and make the necessary adjustments needed.

At 6:30 a.m sharp, I forward the daily allocation into the “MOHO” group.

If I happened to be working on that day, I would pause in between work just to send and then go about my work.

However, if I happened to be on leave or having my off days, I would then return to sleep or go about my other activities after 6:30 a.m.

It was an interesting experience having had the privilege to hold the position as one of the posting leaders.

My Experience as A Plastics House Officer | Housemanship Diaries

Related Posts:

When I entered the Surgical Posting, we initially did not have the privilege of experiencing subspecialities like other batches.

This was due to the fact that there were lack of house officers.

However, mid-Nov, there was redirection of House Officer allocation and suddenly, the posting was overflowed with House Officers.

Hence, subspecialities were reintroduced. The subspecialities reintroduced are neurosurgical, plastics and urology.

Ever since my first posting in Orthopeaedics, I’ve always wanted to experience being in Plastics after assisting my medical officer at that time with SSG.

Thus, during my final weeks, I was given the priviledge.

The Burn Ward is located at Level 3 of the Main Building, and is able to host at most, 10 patients, with each patient having their own room/cubicle.

Usually the burnt patients are kept at Burn Ward whereas other patients who are admitted for AVF creation or SSG are placed at Surgical Ward.

The timing for us House Officers is from 7am till 6pm, Sunday till Friday with an off day on Saturday.

During my time in Plastics, I would usually arrive on time at 7am and proceed to trace the bloods first. After all the bloods have been traced, I would proceed to help out with morning reviews.

Morning reviews are usually done by the postcall medical officer. This is then followed by rounds with the surgeons, usually starting with the acute or rather, the intubated patients followed by the rest.

Rounds at Burn Ward is only once daily. After morning rounds, we would gather at the “Handover Room” whereby the patients who are not in the Burn Ward but is being seen by Plastics as another team or as a primary team are being handed over in terms of case and progress as well as the newly admitted ones.

Next, we will proceed to follow the “Peri rounds” and change dressings if needed. Usually after the Peri rounds is when us House Officers go about our joblists in terms of posting case, referrals or bloodtakings or imaging request.

The rest of the day could be pretty chill if there is nothing going on but usually, there would be new patients to be transferred in, take blood or any post-op patients to be reviewed.

Sometimes there are cases being called and we are more than welcome to join the operation. In between, there are arterial blood gases (ABGs) to be take in between or bloods to be sent.

Finally, in the evening, prior to leaving at the end of our shift, we would prep the coming mornings and leave them nearby before informing in our Surgical House Officer’s group in regards to the “coming mornings”.

My time in Plastics was rather short-lived and I felt that there was so much more to be learnt. But my time spent there was extremely wonderful and the medical officers and surgeons were more than helpful and welcoming towards the new people into their team.

Definitely, a department that I would want to return to.

The Wards In The Surgical Department | Sarawak General Hospital

Related Posts:

The main General Surgery wards in this hospital is located on the 7th floor of the main building which are Male Surgical Ward (MSW) and Female Surgical Ward (FSW).

I entered my General Surgery Posting during a time whereby there were no House Officers being allocated into sub-specialities. The only so-called “sub-specialities” that were available were “Vascular” and “Hepatobiliary Team – HPB”. Both of which are added under General Surgery.

Other teams such as Neurosurgery, Plastics, Urology and Paeds Surgery did not have House Officers. It wasn’t till towards the end of my service in this Posting that it was reintroduced.

Thus, our exposure towards the wards in General Surgery were limited but also made it pretty easy for us to manage.

1. Male Surgical Ward, MSW

Located on the 7th floor of the main building, it is considered the ward which is feared and avoided by many but is also where I’ve spent most of my time while being in this posting.

As the name suggests, it is mainly for male patients with underlying surgical issues or at least being managed by Surgical as the primary team.

This ward is usually avoided by many due to the overwhelming amount of patients which is twice the amount in Female Surgical Ward.

Twice the amount usually meant twice the amount of drama as well as the usual chaos.

My journey in General Surgery ended with my service in this particular ward.

2. Female Surgical Ward, FSW

This ward is also situated on the 7th floor of the main building and it is opposite the Male Surgical Ward, MSW.

As per its namesake, it mainly consists of female patients with underlying surgical issues or at least being managed by surgical team as the primary team.

Albeit it being a “Female” Surgical Ward, there would occasionally be male patients being treated there as the beds in the other wards are usually filled, causing an overflow of patients into this ward.

I started my tagging days in this particular ward and I would consider this ward relatively chiller and laid back compared to the other.

3. Vascular Ward

The Vascular Ward is located on Level 3 of the main building.

If you have done the Paediatrics Posting, it is situated in the same location as “Paeds Nursery Level 1″.

The ward is essentially divided into two, catering to both the Paediatrics Team as well as the Vascular Team.

4. Vascular Extension Ward

The Vascular Ward could only cater to at most, 10 patients. Thus, if there were any more patients to be managed under the Vascular Team, they would be placed in the Vascular Extension Ward or in the main surgical wards.

The Vascular Extension is located on the second floor of the main building, inside the Urology Ward which is situated opposite the emergency department, ETD.

During my service period in General Surgery, I have paid a few visits to the Vascular Ward and Vascular Extension Ward. However, I have never served my time there as I was not allocated to be the House Officer in the Vascular Team and also because it was a team I was avoiding.

Upon my exit from this posting, the sub-specialities were reintroduced again and House Officers were being allocated to other teams.

Thus, if you are due to experience the General Surgery Posting, I hope that you will find it as enjoyable as I did especially while working in the Male Surgical Ward.

It is indeed hectic and busy and going home on time is almost unheard of. Albeit MSW being an extremely busy ward, the medical officers I worked with as well as the specialists were kind, helpful and willing to teach.

My First Day Back At Work After A 6-Week-Break | Housemanship Diaries

Related Posts:

I officially returned to work on the 2nd of October 2024.

Initially, I was stationed to work the morning shift at ward. However, a colleague of mine decided to take a sick leave on that day when she was initially stationed as the House Officer in the Emergency Department, ETD HO.

Being the Allocation Leader in this department, it is my duty to immediately look for a replacement and to update in the group with the medical officers. Not one person came to mind and I felt bad since it was a friend of mine who took a sick leave or did I feel comfortable dragging another person to cover this shift since it is a shift most people avoided.

Thus, I offered to be the ETD HO myself. It was during an anaemic House Officer period and there were only one House Officer stationed at the Emergency Department.

Hence, I went to work and stocked up my necessary supplies before meeting the post night House Officer in the Emergency Department to receive my handover.

Of all days, it had to be one whereby no coming mornings (bloods) were taken for the patients and there were a lot of active job-lists not being carried out. Not to mention scans to be requested the following morning.

Basically, there were a ton of “shits” being thrown to me and if I do not settle it myself or to push my post night colleague to help me, I would be in a mess for the day.

Imagine having just returned to work to this. Without thinking much, I started identifying the patients who had bloods to be taken and proceeded to take all of them and sent it off. After sending them off, I started preparing for scans and called the radiology medical officer oncall to present my case.

Finally, after I thought I was done, I decided to review the stranded patients.

Normally, the stranded patients should be reviewed around 7am as we would begin our morning rounds around 7:30am till 8am. Thankfully, it was the weekend and rounds began much later.

I went through my list of stranded patients and there were almost 20. 20 stranded patients at various locations.

Would I have the time to review all of them? What about the active joblists or scans? Can I rely on my post night colleague? What if there is a new case?

I remembered it being a rainy day and the referrals were initially from wards and not from the Emergency Department (ETD).

Perhaps it would be a slow day. I thought to myself.

But, I thought too soon.

Soon, referrals started piling up. My medical officer’s phone (MO) was blowing up with calls. Other sub-specialities kept reaching out for me to help them out and at one point, me and my medical officer had to split to ensure we got everything done to the best that we could.

I wished that I could literally divide myself but I couldn’t. On top of that, my right foot started to ache. I just came back from a 6-week-break. I can’t afford to go on anther few weeks. If I do, just when am I going to end this posting?

I recalled it being a terribly hectic day and I felt bad as I was mostly away, having been dragged away by other sub-specialities, escorting patients or carrying out the active job-lists. I could not really be by my medical officer’s (MO) side to see the cases.

Finally, the end of my shift approached. 7pm and my night colleague came for handover.

Despite it being the evening already, the fire was still burning strong, referrals did not stop coming in and I still had tasks to complete or I would be handing over “shits” to my night colleague.

Finally, it was around 8-9pm, I can’t really remember as I was following night rounds with the OT call medical officer and registrar. My medical officer told me to return home since the following day, I would be morning shift.

I remembered returning home that day, somewhat unsatisfied with myself. No doubt that it was a tough day, but I could definitely do better. If only my leg did not slow me. The pain seems to increase with every step I took and with every exertion I made.

However, as I remembered, I was blessed to have an angel as my medical officer oncall for that day. Instead of shaming me or being sarcastic or mentioning that I could do better, she simply thanked me for putting my best effort on the first day back and welcomed me back.

It’s angels like this who makes me want to try to be better the following day.

Daily writing prompt What are your biggest challenges? View all responses

My biggest challenge is always getting around my innate need to procrastinate. There are things to do, so does Robert do them? Eventually, but for now? He does something else that is entirely unrelated.

I feel as though the whole post-gastric bypass plan to establish an exercise and eating/drinking routine has helped but it hasn’t fixed my brain entirely yet. I may get there someday but it’s going to take time and effort. Also, I can’t procrastinate through the process. You understand, of course.

And there you have it, the first daily writing prompt of 2024. That doesn’t mean anything, I am just trying to get into the habit of typing 2024 instead of 2023. It’s going to take a while to burn the new year into my tiny little brain. You understand, of course.
