Travelling MO..
We have recently restarted a travelling Dr to the subdistrict clinics, which was then stopped due to not having enough MOs at JPL Sandakan. Last month, i had my turn..initally it was quite struggle for me, being the one who always goes out to work 10 mins to 8, to go out as early as 6 am to Suan Lamba, but it turns out to be quite a valuable and good experience. I would never have known the difficulties the pregnant mothers face to come for review in mile 2 Sandakan if i didn’t experience myself the 2 hour+ bumpy journey to Suan Lamba.. limpas lagi Kinabatangan tu wehh..nak sampai Sukau dah tu..
I felt what it really was like to work in Hulu places like Ulu Dusun where the clinic is just like ur regular wooden kampong house surrounded by lush green trees J. I got to know that it takes approx RM 9.90 by bus for a mother in Sg Manila to come for review. (Don’t forget the 90 cent,the mother said to me..and she had to go back n forth 10 times for her injection Imferon). And with that, i promised myself never to scold any pregnant mothers who come to review in mile 2 again, no matter what misdoing, misappointment or whatsoever anymore.
After the stint ended, i find that i do enjoy the travels..and especially felt appreciated by the staff at the clinics..sampai ada yg masak2 utk mkn tengahari, kat Ulu Dusun tu..yumm..thanks yah!
