Dobbs weekend update

The MMR maintains a forum for Malaysian doctors, the Doctors Only Bulletin Board System (fondly known as Dobbs). Registration in this site is free for all Malaysian doctors.

Here are some current topics from the Forums which might interest you:

1) First of all some sad news as we announced the passing of a colleague, Prof Rokiah Pendek, Consultant Endocrinologist at UMMC. She will be well and truly missed.

Enter your Facebook profile URL and a Facebook icon will also appear in your Profile homepage at the top. This will facilitate Dobbers connecting to each other via Facebook as well.

If you have not updated your profile yet, please note that this will get you 200 additional bonus points which will go a long way towards the 250 points required for Member services such as the free clinic/practice website or fax-to-email service.

Have a great long weekend!!
