    OMG #13mg - Cucuk ker, Integriti?

    🎙️ OMG Podcast - Episode #13mg: Cucuk ker, Integriti?Join Dr. Akmal and Dr. Aizzat as we sit down with Dr. Syairah, an aesthetic physician from Radiant Clinic, for an unfiltered conversation about Malaysia's booming aesthetic medicine industry. This isn't about before-and-after transformations, this is about what really happens behind the consultation room doors.In this episode, three doctors explore the reality of aesthetic medicine in Malaysia: the opportunities, the ethical gray zones, and why this field sits in an awkward silo between dermatology and plastic surgery. Dr. Syairah pulls back the curtain on an industry most medical professionals whisper about but few truly understand.This episode covers:1. Real journey into aesthetics: Why Dr. Syairah chose this unconventional path and what it actually takes to establish credibility2. The dark secrets nobody talks about: Industry practices, patient expectations, and the uncomfortable truths about aesthetic medicine in Malaysia3. Medispa vs Aesthetic Clinic: What's the actual difference, and why it matters for patient safety4. Why aesthetics is booming: The cultural shift, Instagram effect, and economic realities driving explosive growth5. No shortcuts, only resilience: Why technical skills alone won't make you successful in this field6. The silo problem: How aesthetic medicine exists in limbo between dermatology and plastic surgery and why better collaboration could transform the industry7. Navigating challenges: From managing patient expectations to dealing with complications nobody prepared you forDr. Syairah's perspective as someone actively building a practice in this space offers rare insight into a field that's often misunderstood by traditional medicine. Her honest take on both the opportunities and the ethical dilemmas challenges the "easy money" stereotype many doctors have about aesthetics.Key insight from this episode: Aesthetic medicine isn't the shortcut many think it is. It's a legitimate field requiring serious clinical judgment, business acumen, and emotional intelligence but the lack of proper training pathways and professional silos means most doctors enter it unprepared for what they'll actually face.Special thanks to our sponsors:TheScrubLab (TSL) - Quality medical scrubs for healthcare professionals.

    OMG #12mg - Lost in Translation?

    🎙️ OMG Podcast - Episode #12mg: Lost in Translation?Join Dr. Akmal and Dr. Aizzat as we sit down with Dr. Hazwani, a medical doctor turned entrepreneur who's built her own GP empire - Dr. Hazra Clinic, now operating 3 branches. But here's the twist: she studied in Indonesia and had to navigate two completely different healthcare systems to get where she is today.This isn't another "follow your dreams" entrepreneur story. This is raw, honest conversation about what really happens when you come back from overseas, the culture shock, the system shock, and the mental gymnastics of proving yourself all over again.This episode covers:1. The real Indonesia vs Malaysia medical education gap - what they taught her there vs what Malaysia expects here2. Coming home as a "foreign grad" - the unspoken bias, the skepticism, and having to prove yourself twice3. Government service reality check - when your overseas training doesn't quite fit the Malaysian mold4. The locum life: Why she quit government for freelance and what nobody tells you about locuming as an IMG5. From employed to employer - building Dr. Hazra Clinic from scratch (the unglamorous, expensive truth)6. Scaling to 3 branches while fighting the "foreign grad" label - how she turned her outsider status into her edge7. The mental shift from "just a doctor" to "doctor-entrepreneur" - mindset changes they don't teach in any medical schoolDr. Hazwani's journey challenges everything about the conventional Malaysian doctor pathway. She didn't just adapt to the system - she built her own. Her insights on why being "lost in translation" actually developed skills that local grads rarely get will make you rethink the whole foreign vs local debate.Key insight from this episode: Sometimes being an outsider forces you to see opportunities the insiders are too comfortable to notice. The translation struggles aren't weaknesses - they're your competitive advantage.Special thanks to our sponsors:TheScrubLab (TSL) - Quality medical scrubs for healthcare professionals.

    OMG #11mg - Tagging ker, Suffering?

    🎙️ OMG Podcast - Episode #11mg: Tagging ker, Suffering?Join Dr. Akmal and Dr. Aizzat as we sit down with Dr. Zairi, an ex-Emergency Physician who quit government service to build his own GP chain (now at 4 branches), for the most honest conversation about tagging you'll ever hear. Forget the sanitized "learning experience" narrative this is about survival tactics they don't teach in medical school.Technical note: Due to recording issues, audio quality for the first 7 minutes is suboptimal. Quality returns to normal after that. We appreciate your patience!In this episode, three doctors from different backgrounds dissect the most gruesome period of housemanship: the tagging phase. But this isn't your typical motivational talk. This is real, unfiltered discussion about what it actually takes to survive when the official playbook doesn't work.This episode covers:1. Real tagging experiences from 3 different perspectives: Emergency Medicine, Neurosurgery, and Medical Officer turned healthcare IT consultant2. Non-orthodox survival strategies that actually work (the tactics seniors won't officially acknowledge)3. How to navigate toxic tagging environments without completely burning out4. The unspoken rules of tagging what separates those who survive from those who break5. Mental health survival tips when you're barely keeping your head above water6. Red flags to watch for and when to know you need to switch strategies7. Why the traditional "study hard, follow instructions" approach often fails in realityDr. Zairi's journey from Emergency Department to 4-clinic GP chain owner adds a unique lens: someone who survived the system, then chose to leave it. His insights on what tagging should be versus what it actually is challenge the entire housemanship training model.Key insight from this episode: Sometimes survival means knowing when to bend the rules, when to stay invisible, and when to speak up. The system expects resilience, but rarely teaches you how to build it.Special thanks to our sponsors:TheScrubLab (TSL) - Quality medical scrubs for healthcare professionals.
