AS someone who has been through the grind as a doctor in Malaysia’s public hospitals, I empathise with the plight of government physicians and surgeons.

I was part of the system as a houseman, medical officer, registrar and specialist. Then I jumped at the first opportunity to study and work in Australia, where I finished my subspecialty training and became a full-time consultant.
