People always ask me this one question when I met them for the first time or when I told my friend about what I'm doing now. Most of the people thought that being a doctor means work in a hospital or clinic, or university as a lecturer.
Actually a doctor's job have two main division: clinical and non clinical. Doing clinical works means that you work in the hospital or clinic, treating patients. While doing non clinical works involves mainly advisory job like an advisor or lecturer.
Although I quit housemanship, I'm not quitting medicine. I love medicine but I don't like to practice. Hence I do what I do now. I am still a doctor but doing a medical advisory job for an insurance company. After few years of working I will be able to be a Medical Consultant in the future which give higher salary and more benefits.
There are other ways for you to still use what you have without wasting all your knowledge. The road diverge into two and I took the road usually not taken. And I really happy with what I have now.
I hope my blog readers will find the road to take and enjoy the journey.

After quitting housemanship: What I like the most
It's 2014 already and I guess all of us have set some target to reach during this year. I hope your target is not including quitting housemanship! Haha!
Why? Because it is not a target and it is not an achievement. Don't get me wrong. I did quit housemanship. It's been nearly 1.5 years already. But I did not encourage you to quit before you make a proper plan.
Okay now let's go straight to the topic of the day. I am a person who likes to try new things to have some new adventures. No, I'm not quitting my current job and get a new one. It's now going to happen! At least for the next 1 year. I've been working 5 days a week and get to enjoy the full weekend myself (except when I do OTs) and get to do the things I like to do such as:
1. Learn about personal financial planning
2. Involve in real estate investment
3. Involve in stocks market
4. Learn about other investment opportunities like a business (may be two ;)) )
I'm not saying that you can't do above things I listed while doing housemanship. Maybe you get lesser time only.
I hope we all can get the life we want and the success we dream of!
Till we meet again.

The frequently asked question: Should I Quit?
Being in a dilemma will make all of us to be confused. I believed everybody must have faced some situation like this and don't really know what to do.
To be honest,I really don't know the exact answer myself if you ask me. The answer lies in you. Only you knows what you want to do and what you can do.
You asked,should I quit now?
My answer as follows:
1) Ask yourself what is happening now? What is the problem that makes you thinking of quitting?
2) List all the things you can do to earn a living if you quit.
3) Ask yourself if you are ready to earn lesser (I mean much lesser) than your current earning. List all your commitments.
4) Check your savings. Do you have at least 6 months worth of your expenses in your account?
Only you know what you want. My advice is, don't quit if you don't have 6 months expenses worth of money in your account because they will eventually help you to survive. Because I know, it is hard to get what you earn currently out there. Plan ahead, I mean get to know every details no matter what your decision is and don't forget to plan the escape plan if things not following what you already planned.
Now you can take a piece of paper and start list all the things above and plan ahead.

What I do in the office
I've been receiving some enquiries on what is my current job is all about. So I will share some of the details in this post for everybody's reference.
I am in charged in claims department.To be specific, the medical claims unit. Basically my job involves giving medical advices on the medical part and also on the procedures.
Let say a client file a medical claim. He is hospitalized for renal stone and requiring stone removal. Hence I will assisting the claims assessors from claims and medical point of view. You will need some extra knowledge to be familiar with medical insurance point of view and it might take some times to pick up. Then the attending doctors will claims for their procedures fees by giving use the procedure codes. My job is to determine if the codes are correct and if they charge accordingly following guidelines given by MOH.
That is the main thing I did in the office. There are some other things need to be done and it also involves some other small things which some people might not want to do.
If you need more clarification, feel free to comment.
