I happen to know the doctor and he is one of the better Orthopaedic surgeons in the country and forcing a transfer on him will make him leave the Govenment Health service and join the private sector . Why these pen pushers in the government service so foolish.

Dedicated doc at Hospital Taiping will be dearly missed
Below from www.freemalaysiatoday.com
Just when doctors recommended amputation, one orthopaedic surgeon stepped in to ensure my grandmother's leg was saved.
My grandmother is a chronic diabetic, with a host of other medical problems and she nearly lost her life last June, if not for the dedicated support staff and the specialists of Hospital Taiping.
Some months back, she developed a diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) and since her blood glucose levels were not stabilised after being discharged from the ICU, the treatment of this DFU was a losing battle; instead of healing it just seemed to get worse and then a second wound developed on the top of her foot.
The doctors increased her insulin doses and we maintained tight controls of her food intake. We also made sure that her wounds were dressed every day, but still healing seemed to be extremely slow and she suffered excruciating pain in her leg.
Consultation with other orthopedic surgeons, brought pain and anguish to family members, as they concluded that amputation was the only solution.
All hope was almost lost until this orthopedic surgeon at Hospital Taiping, who took charge of her case, treated the wounds with utmost care and dedication.
Many other patients have also commented of his high standard of work ethic.
Today, her wounds are healing well but alas, we got news that this particular doctor is being transferred to another town. It is such a pity that Taiping Hospital is going to lose a dedicated doctor who cares dearly for his patients.
I hope that his transfer could be rescinded for the sake of his patients here.
