The waiting game

Many men would adopt a “wait and see” attitude when it comes to their health despite suffering pain or even irritation. 

Being away in the United Kingdom for many years and after coming back to Malaysia and serving as a doctor, I realised that generally, Malaysians tend to defer medical treatment. There are two distinct periods when clinics can be quiet, as Chinese patients tend to defer the necessity of receiving care in the hospital unless that is the last resort (in most cases, this is really the case).
