Train

Shortly after discussing the issue of medical manpower with VW, I was engaged in another conversation with HM, a friend of mine who is working in another hospital, on a similar topic.

In short, he was complaining about the performance of a trainee in her department, "You know, we are really disappointed. She did well in every aspect as a house officer and junior trainee. But, when she turned into a higher trainee, you really think that's a different person. Her knowledge is deficient, and her professional attitude is far from acceptable."

"Is she having some problem with her family?" I suggested.

"No, I don't think so. She keeps putting up photos of her exquisite dinning almost everyday on her Facebook. My god, what time is left for studying if you dine with your friend every evening?"

"In that case, why don't you give her some warning? I believe there are mechanisms to discontinue her training, aren't there?"

"In theory, yes, but we don't want to..."

"Why?"
