I am now doing my so-called night shift. Miri General Hospital has introduced shift system but unfortunately, since we are lacking of housemen in O&G department, the system still looks like normal oncall schedule.
So for those who are doing night shift, we will start our day at 7am and stopped at 2pm. We are given with 3 hours break until 5pm and then to come back again to work from 5pm until 8am.
We can go back early the next day provided that we have attended the compulsory sessions such as CME and pass over and rounds with specialist. I have mixed feelings about this system since by doing so, there will only be 2 HO per night shift. Depending on the days, good calls can give some time to sleep. On "hot" days, u will definitely feel like a living frustrated zombie.
It's still too early to give my comments on the system but i hope our teachings and experiences will still remain optimised!

Hi, I've just finished my induction and I got posted 2 Miri.. Any advice or anything I should do or bring 2 prepare myself b4 going 2 Miri? Is it advisable 2 stay outside or in the hosp quaters?? Thanks!
Hello there! Welcome to Miri! Miri is not a bad place after all. It is a small city but has all the basic necessities.
My opinion on accomodation : you can only stay at the quarters for 3 months maximum. Then you are required to leave and find your own place. The quarters itself is poorly maintained. Hence, i suggest you to have a car ASAP so that you can trvel around to shop and find food. The canteen and tuckshop close quite early (by 7pm i think). You might be starving after tagging by 10pm.
Otherwise, just bebprepared to work hard as well as to feel tired. Tagginf for 2 weeks can be mentally exhausting to some. Perhaps it is advisable for you to come over to Miri Hospital with your friends for support.
And oh, you will only find out which posting you will get on Monday. I have a feeling you will meet me since O&G needs housemen really badly!
