props to hospital sungai buloh
i love hospital sungai buloh!i sent in an application for an elective period and it is all good and settled today when it very well could not have been, for various reasons.
firstly, i sent in the application only one month ahead of the elective period...mostly out of desperation because a certain general hospital in a certain northern state known for its char koay teow has yet to reply despite me handing in the forms almost a month ago.
secondly, i didn't have a letter from the dean (just from the elective coordinator) when the application required it.
thirdly, i could only be there for 2 weeks when the minimum period was originally 3 weeks.
i sent the letter two mondays ago. i received the application forms saturday that same week (woot!). sent in the completed forms last tuesday with a letter explaining that i was already offered 2 weeks in singapore and hence only had another 2 weeks to spare. this morning, a nice lady from the office (give a hand for pn hamimah!) called to ask if i could do 3 weeks and when i told her why i couldn't, she made a few calls and then got back to me saying that it's alright for me to do 2 weeks. the acceptance letter is in the mail right now as i'm typing this.
if that's not awesome, i don't know what is!
my faith in the public service is renewed.
maybe i'll head there for housemanship.
