House Officer Guidebook

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim...

Here in Hospital Temerloh, before you start tagging in your respective postings, you need to undergo a one week orientation.

Too much things to tell about the orientation week.. but there are pros and cons of it. I honestly believe that having gone through the orientation week, I understand better regarding the procedures and protocols of the hospital.

There are certain things that they didn't teach you in medical school like The Order of Draw, or how many times to shake the sample tubes to prevent it from clotting.

These are the examples of mistakes that house officers do all the time. Why is it very important because if your sample clotted or get contaminated, it will be rejected. And that will cost money. Tax payers' money that are better spent on other important things.

Apart from that, we were given various reading materials for guidelines. One that I would like to recommend here to read before you start working is the Houseman Officer Guidebook by the Malaysian Medical Council

You can easily download the PDF version from the official website here
