The 4th year is starting soon. For me it means another 1.5 years, and already 3 years of working without a wage. My casereport submitted, my new research trial approved and funded, that leaves 2 major issues. This week I'll send my final last appeal to the Malaysian Medical Council. For all of those who are not aware; the MMC doesn't acknowledge my perfectly acceptable Dutch medical degree, even if I would be fully registered with the UK GMC. That means that - even if I would have a local specialist degree - I won't be allowed to stay on and earn a living here. For me, I've reconciled myself with my current unpaid status; I regard it as a major form of charity from my side. But I feel by now all the hard work that has benefitted the Malaysian government so far should be rewarded in at least giving met that full registration so that I can start earning some money. If not, then I guess little is left but preparing for my exams and start thinking about the next step. For I don't think I can stay on in a country that so much disrespects me and the many others like me who contribute to this society....
