The month of May is going to be a busy month for me. I last blogged 5 days ago as I was a very busy man over the last 2 weeks and probably for the next 2 weeks as well. The whole of Tuesday I was at Columbia Asia Hospital Nusajaya to meet with all the “big shots” from KL including the South East Asia CEO of Columbia Asia. I had a chat with the CEO regarding few issues surrounding the opening of the hospital
Later the same night, we had a dinner with them at Grand Straits Garden restaurant from 7pm to 10pm. It was here that we realise we had singing doctors on board. Dr.Ezalee (anaesthetist), Dr.Teh (O&G) and Dr.Ding (MO) were good singers. They kept us entertained with their karaoke.
The next day (Wednesday 12/05/2010) was the MOH inspection for our operating license. The MOH team came from Putrajaya at around 10.30am. A new doctor who was just appointed to this post did the inspection. I must say that she was the most irritating and annoying doctor I have ever seen. Upon arrival she gave an hour lecture to the management team. The part that we felt very irritated is when she comes up with her own opinions and suggestions and request us to carry it out. As far as we are concerned, her job is to inspect whether we had complied with the Private Healthcare Facilities Act or not. Unfortunately she was going on and on commenting on things that she should not be doing……
Well, I had to leave at 1pm as I need to rush to my “voluntary” clinic at Hospital Sutanah Aminah at 2pm, after which I had to give a talk for the Year 3 Monash students at 5pm. I completed my day at 6pm and reached home at 7pm. The next day (Thursday), I had a bedside teaching at 10am to 12pm for final year students after which I left to Columbia Asia Hopital for a briefing from the GM and nurses day celebration at 3pm. The GM was very upset with what the learned doctor from MOH did, the day before. However, we still hope and convinced that we will get the operating license this month. I really hope we can start the hospital on 1st June 2010. I can’t wait anymore…………….
Lastly, on friday, I had a bedside teaching from 9-11am for year 3 students and then rushed off to Regency Hospital for my part-time private clinic from 2-5pm. I reached home around 6.15pm and switched on my TV to watch the most disappointing and embarrassing badminton game I have ever watched. We were just told by China to go and learn how to play badminton!
Today, I just had the time to open my laptop as I was away the whole morning, sending my son to Tamil class and marketing. Tomorrow, I got my sunday clinic at Regency Hospital from 9am to 1pm. Phew………, what a week.
