23 year old medical student commits suicide by jumping from 24 storey flat

A 23 year old medical student by the name of Zhu Jianwen committed suicide by jumping from a 24 story flat in Marine Parade, Lianhe Wanbao reported yesterday:

He left a pair of shoes, his glasses and a bag containing medical textbooks and notes on the floor from which he plunged to his death.
His mother was heard wailing to relatives that he was just transferred to a different department and was under tremendous stress.
Based on his age, Mr Zhu is likely to be a final year medical student if he had been disrupted from National Service.
Under the new medical curriculum, final year medical students have to double up as house officers as well and their performance during their apprenticeship will be assessed and graded accordingly, failing which they will have to repeat another year.

Most doctors will agree that housemanship is the toughest year of their careers followed by the final year. However the workload of house officers has been lightened considerably in recent years compared to the past.

Stress is dangerous and fatal on some individual. It is important for family to identify stress and help. Sad for family to lose such a young family members.

sometimes...is good to keep an open mind.
If you cannot be a doctor, be a social worker.

There are always other routes for you to walk.
no point choosing the dead end.

Just dun be stubborn...and give yourself a break.
In life, is always about trying.

:( :o :(

Housemanship is to understudy. But here, like many interns, they are used as cheap labour. I personally do not believe in internship. It's a waste of time and now it leads to death.

It's a waste of time and exploitation .

We will take the war to overseas ! They will see more of their Elite children get run down by disgruntled people there .

There are more to life than just studying or trying to get rich. Life is very precious and comes only once. If faced with obstacles, there is always another route created for you. Like my friends used to say, if one door slammed on you, there is another door open to welcome you. Dream is transient and they come and go thus creating many options to pursue other dreams. It takes time to reach there regardless of your age. Once you are there - whether you achieved it or not - you would have already lived life to the fullest.

Myfoot philosophy.

A young life, lost in this way. Perhaps he has some sort of mental disease?

Not long ago, Friends and I had seen a contracted attendant issuing car park summons at a HDB block. After he had issued the summons, he looked at us and sound his motor-cycle horn: "pi, pi, pi" three time, sort of boasting himself. Then he ride off and came back again within short time, and make "pi, pi, pi" again.

Most of these attendant are mental, they have no where to go in terms of employment opportunities. If you observe, most of them have that sort of retarded and despair look in their eyes. Most of them are young.

For them I believe its a way to keep their sanity in check with their sublime actions.

IMH-2000 beds, one MO at night, need to work until next day 1 p.m. then can go home...

Other Acute hospitals: at least 10 wards with only 2 M.O's, lots of admission and clerking of cases at night, not to mention acute cases..

IMHO, Drs who cannot take stress should just sign on with MINDEF, save money during the bond, serve it, then proceed to join private or start up own clinic, be a lecturer etc...

I think dropping out is a loss of face (remember these are so called elite and high acheivers), and for those from poorer families, I dont think they can afford to break the bond, which usually runs in 6 digits...

maybe this guy also suffering from depression and the girl who died in u.k. was his gf or potential gf...
