When I moved to Aberdeen the first person I met is now my husband .We worked well together. We became good friends. If I had taken the Aberdeen offer, I would have known him 6 years earlier and we would have graduated together!
As a junior doctor, I had worked on Medical wards, Surgical wards and Accident and Emergency. Friday nights were the busiest and quite often I would be the only doctor seeing all patients from midnight till the next morning. It was stressful.
I then did 3 years in Obstetrics and Gynaecology and obtained my Postgraduate Degree from The Royal College of Obstetrics and Gynaecology. It was a proud moment.
After we got married, I felt being a hospital doctor woudn’t be easy if I list to data wanted a family. There were limited options for part time working 22 years ago in the hospitals. I wanted to have time with my children when I had them. General Practice had more flexible working hours. Things have changed since, and now women have better opportunities to work part time both in primary care and secondary care.
I have been a General Practitioner for 20 years and am pleased with my chosen career path. I love seeing patients and I love getting to know them. It is also challenging trying to figure outin the 10 minutes that you have with them and deciding if someone is ill enough to be sent into hospital .
I held onto my Malaysian citizenship till 2016. If I had applied for a British citizenship at any time, I would have lost my Malaysian citizenship. Not having British citizenship to me did not mean I did not consider myself a British Resident. I haven’t even changed my last name to my husband’s when we got married and I am happily married for 22 years. A passport or a name itself does not indicate loyalty.
