I am a Cynic

When I overheard a doctor said he gave up his practice in private hospital because working in non-private setting gave him more time for his patients I don't know whether to laugh or to snort. Reality of life: private patients can be a real pain in the ass especially those who think they're know-all just because they're rich; anybody who worked in non-private hospitals can tell you that nobody, be it doctors or nurses or other allied health staff, has more time for patients because we are ALWAYS short of manpower. Then again the doctor was on national TV, guess he had to be diplomatically correct.

What can I say, society has made me a cynic. The idealism I had when I was a student has little place in this society. No use saying it is unfair to lie, backstab, threaten, or even resort to verbal abuse. Seasoned players in the society will probably just shrug their shoulders and tell you "that's life".
