    OMG #22mg - Doc Jaga Semua, Kecuali Diri

    🎙️ OMG Podcast - Episode #22mg: Doc Jaga Semua, Kecuali DiriJoin Dr. Akmal and Dr. Aizzat as we sit down with Dr. Hazli, a psychiatrist, for the conversation Malaysian medical culture keeps avoiding. Doctors are trained to prioritize patients above everything else; but who's looking out for the doctor?This isn't a wellness talk. This is an honest breakdown of why the people most equipped to recognize mental health struggles are often the last to address their own.This episode covers:1. Why doctors are disproportionately vulnerable to mental health issues and why the system keeps producing them2. The personality trap: high achievers and lifelong learners who never learned how to fail3. Trauma isn't just for those who experience it. Bystanders carry it too, and nobody talks about that4. Why bystanders need to be empowered, not just informed5. The underrated power of just being there and why we're not doing it enough6. Why doctors default to giving advice when someone in trauma just needs a person to sit with them7. What KKM can actually learn from corporate leadership culture8. Why leadership, not policy, is the real bottleneck in doctor mental healthKey insight from this episode: Doctors are trained to fix. But some things don't need fixing. They need witnessing.Special thanks to our sponsors:TheScrubLab (TSL) - Quality medical scrubs for healthcare professionals.

    OMG #21mg - TTC, Kena Rehat atau Resign?

    🎙️ OMG Podcast - Episode #21mg: TTC, Kena Rehat atau Resign?Join Dr. Akmal and Dr. Aizzat as we sit down with Dr. Hamizah, a government general surgeon who took nearly a year of unpaid leave after finally becoming a mother following years of TTC treatment. This isn't a career-vs-family debate. It's an honest conversation about what happens when your body, your ambitions, and the system all pull in different directions at once.In this episode, we go beyond the usual "work-life balance" talk into the parts nobody really says out loud: the TTC journey, the weight of stepping away from surgery, and what it actually means to rebuild your identity when your role at home and your role in the OT don't fit in the same sentence anymore.This episode covers:1. The TTC journey; what years of treatment actually looks like from the inside, not the highlight reel2. The decision to take unpaid leave: practical reality vs. what people around you expect3. Being a female surgeon in a specialty that doesn't naturally accommodate absence4. How motherhood changes (or doesn't change) your relationship with medicine5. What returning to surgery looks like after stepping away mentally and professionally6. The things female doctors are expected to figure out aloneDr. Hamizah's story sits at an intersection most medical conversations avoid: reproductive health, career interruption, and what it costs to pursue both on your own terms.Key insight from this episode: Unpaid leave isn't giving up. But it's also not as clean a decision as it looks from the outside.Special thanks to our sponsors:TheScrubLab (TSL) — Quality medical scrubs for healthcare professionals.

    🎙️ OMG Podcast - Episode #20mg: Doktor Ni Memang LainJoin Dr. Akmal and Dr. Aizzat as we sit down with Dr. Jihad, a doctor who graduated twice. Medicine from Ain Shams. Syariah from Al-Azhar. But this episode isn't really about the degrees. It's about what happens when a doctor walks into a ward at 3am and meets a dying patient who needs more than a needle.This episode covers:1. How Dr. Jihad used his deep Islamic knowledge to comfort patients at their lowest spiritually, not just clinically2. The bedside moments that medical school never prepares you for3. Why he chose to pursue Syariah alongside Medicine and what it cost him4. What studying at Al-Azhar actually gives you that no Malaysian university can5. The gap between clinical competence and human connection and how to close it6. What Muslim doctors can learn from the Islamic scholarly tradition about caring for the sick7. Whether this approach is scalable or is Dr. Jihad just built differentMost doctors treat the body. Some treat the mind. Dr. Jihad walks in quoting hadith back to an Ustaz on his deathbed.Memang lain.Special thanks to our sponsors:TheScrubLab (TSL) - Quality medical scrubs for healthcare professionals.

    OMG #19mg - Surgery Toxic? Dengar Dulu.

    🎙️ OMG Podcast - Episode #19mg: Surgery Toxic? Dengar Dulu. Join Dr. Akmal and Dr. Aizzat as we sit down with Dr. Ibrahim; a General Surgeon at Hospital Tawau, Sabah, now in his 4th year serving the region, who moved there with his whole family and never looked back. Before you write off surgery as toxic, dengar dulu. In this episode, we get into what a doctor's life actually looks like when you swap the KL gridlock for a 4am subuh, a morning jog, breakfast with the kids, and a 7.30am clock-in with no jam in sight. But this isn't just a lifestyle episode. Dr. Ibrahim takes us into the heart of what makes surgery the specialty everyone fears, and whether that fear is justified. This episode covers: City vs Tawau: the real difference in how a doctor lives, not just where they workWhy surgery always gets labelled toxic and what that label actually costs the specialtyThe surgeon's burden: responsibilities and workload that most people never see from the outsideMOs in surgery: Dr. Ibrahim raises a valid, uncomfortable observation about competency that nobody wants to say out loudWhat full commitment looks like; family, roots, and all in a region that genuinely needs youDr. Ibrahim isn't grinding toward private practice in the city. He chose Tawau, deliberately, with his family by his side. That choice reframes everything he says about surgery, toxicity, and what medicine is actually for. Key insight from this episode: Surgery's reputation might be doing it more harm than its culture ever did.

    OMG #18mg: Nurse to Doctor, Why?

    🎙️ OMG Podcast - Episode #18mg: Nurse to Doctor, Why?Join Dr. Akmal and Dr. Aizzat as we sit down with Yunus, a 3rd-year medical student who took a road most wouldn't dare; Diploma in Nursing from KPJ, worked the wards, then decided to pursue medicine. This isn't a motivational reel. This is an honest look at what it actually means to bet on yourself when the system never designed a lane for you.In this episode, we dig into Yunus's unconventional journey and what it really looks like from the inside:1. What life as a KPJ nursing diploma student actually taught him that medical school can't replicate2. The moment he decided nursing wasn't the ceiling — and what that decision cost him3. How having real clinical exposure as a nurse changes how you see medical school (and your peers)4. The identity shift: from being competent on the ward to being a student again5. What 3rd-year medical school hits differently when you've already held a patient's hand through a bad night6. The honest pros and cons of taking the longer, unconventional route into medicine7. What he'd tell a nursing student today who's quietly thinking about making the jumpYunus's story challenges a quiet assumption in Malaysian healthcare — that there's only one right starting point. His lens as both a former nurse and current medical student adds a perspective we rarely hear in these conversations.Key insight from this episode: Sometimes the "longer route" gives you things the shortcut never could. The question is whether you're willing to start over.Special thanks to our sponsors:TheScrubLab (TSL) - Quality medical scrubs for healthcare professionals.

    OMG #16mg - UK Lagi Bagus, Kot.

    🎙️ OMG Podcast - Episode #16mg: UK Lagi Bagus, Kot.Join Dr. Akmal and Dr. Aizzat as we sit down with Dr. Hazim, an ENT surgeon currently completing his Rhinology and Skull Base Fellowship, for the most honest take on overseas medical training you'll hear from someone who's actually lived it — and come back.In this episode, we get into ENT procedures and medications that could affect your fast during Ramadhan, what a year in Liverpool really taught him, and whether Malaysia's healthcare system is actually as behind as everyone assumes.This episode covers:1. ENT procedures and medications during Ramadhan — the grey zones surgeons actually have to navigate2. 1 year in Liverpool, UK — what he gained, what surprised him, and what made him appreciate home3. Where Malaysia genuinely wins — treatment quality, colleagues, and the clinical ecosystem4. The 2+1 fellowship structure — what that mandatory overseas year is really designed to do to you5. Rhinology and Skull Base — one of the most technically demanding ENT subspecialties, explained plainly6. Coming home after overseas training — and whether the system lets you use what you learnedDr. Hazim is mid-fellowship, which makes his perspective rare — still close enough to the UK experience to compare honestly, but already seeing Malaysia differently. His take challenges the default assumption that overseas always means better.Key insight from this episode: Sometimes it takes leaving to understand what you already had.Special thanks to our sponsors:TheScrubLab (TSL) - Quality medical scrubs for healthcare professionals.

    OMG #15mg - Doktor Pun Kena Scam

    🎙️ OMG Podcast - Episode #15mg: Doktor Pun Kena Scam Join Dr. Akmal and Dr. Aizzat as we sit down with Dr. Amin, a practicing Medical Doctor and certified Islamic Financial Planner, for the most uncomfortable conversation about doctors and money you'll ever hear. High income. Long hours. And somehow still getting scammed. This episode is about why smart people make dumb financial decisions, and what to do about it. In this episode, we unpack why doctors despite being among the highest earners in Malaysia remain one of the most financially vulnerable groups. Dr. Amin brings a rare dual perspective: someone who lives inside the medical world AND is formally trained in Islamic wealth planning. This episode covers: Why doctors are prime targets for financial scams and bad investmentsThe psychology behind why high-achievers are easier to manipulate financiallySavings strategy 101: how to actually protect your money before growing itMalaysian-friendly investment modules: ASB, Tabung Haji, SSPN which ones actually make sense?Tangible assets: gold and silver as wealth preservation toolsCryptocurrency: legitimate diversification or just a new way to lose money?Why starting early beats earning more every single timeIslamic financial planning principles and how they apply to a doctor's real financial lifeDr. Amin's journey from clinician to certified Islamic Financial Planner adds a unique lens: someone who has seen colleagues fall for the same traps and built a framework to avoid them. His insights challenge the dangerous assumption that intelligence protects you from financial ruin. Key insight from this episode: Being the smartest person in the ward doesn't make you the smartest person in the room when money is involved.
