Dr Choong Khhai Munn Hi, I’m Dr Choong! I’m a family doctor in Damai Perdana, Cheras. I help people with common illnesses, long term health problems.

I’ve been a doctor for almost nine years, and for the past six years, I’ve had the privilege of serving the same community here in Cheras.

Over these years, I’ve realised that I’ve grown together with many of my patients.

Some first came to me when they were young and healthy. Some came with their parents, and over time, I got to know their families too. But time passes quietly. Some of the elderly patients I used to see have since passed away, while their children still come to the clinic. Sometimes, when I see them sitting in the same chair, I remember the person who used to sit there before them.

I’ve also watched families grow. People I first knew when they were single are now married, bringing their own children to see me. Sometimes I look at their children and realise just how quickly time has passed.

And somewhere along the way, I realised that I’ve grown older with them too.

When I first started practising, I thought being a doctor was mainly about diagnosing diseases, reading blood tests and prescribing medications. But after nine years, I’ve realised that medicine is so much more than that.

People don’t only come to me when they are sick. Sometimes they are worried. Sometimes they need advice. And sometimes, they simply need someone to listen.

My professors in medical school used to tell us that we don’t treat just a disease or a set of numbers. We treat the patient as a whole.

Back then, I understood it as a medical principle. Today, after nine years of practice, I think I finally understand what they meant.

Because behind every blood pressure reading, every blood test and every diagnosis, there is a person with a family, a story, a fear and a hope.

Looking back, I realise I’ve spent a big part of my life here in this clinic, being part of my patients’ lives through different seasons.

And I’m genuinely grateful for that.

Thank you for trusting me with your health, for allowing me to become your GP, and sometimes, simply allowing me to be someone who listens.

Medicine taught me how to treat diseases.
But my patients taught me how to treat people.

And perhaps, that is what being a doctor has truly come to mean to me.

Eating more but still not gaining the weight you want? And when you do gain weight, does it seem to go to your belly instead of your muscles?

There may be more to it than just eating more. Watch till the end to find out what your body actually needs, and if you have any questions, leave them in the comments below.

“Dalam vaksin ada macam-macam jenis virus.”

Ramai orang dengar ayat macam ni terus rasa takut. Tapi sebenarnya, setiap vaksin berbeza dan bukan semua vaksin mengandungi virus hidup.

Ada vaksin yang guna virus yang dilemahkan atau dimatikan, ada yang hanya guna bahagian tertentu daripada virus atau bakteria, dan ada yang menggunakan teknologi seperti mRNA.

Jadi kalau risau tentang sesuatu vaksin, tanya dulu apa sebenarnya yang ada dalam vaksin tersebut.
Tanya boleh. Skeptikal pun boleh. Tapi jangan terus percaya hanya sebab sesuatu tu nampak menakutkan dekat media sosial.

Today was one of those days that reminded us why we became healthcare workers.

Free screening.
Good conversations.
Practical advice.
And lots of patients willing to learn.

Thank you to everyone who joined us today, and to our dietitian team & Abbott for making this possible.
Today went smoothly, and honestly, we’re just grateful.

Colore**al cancer is one of the most common cancers in Malaysia, and unfortunately, many patients are still diagnosed at an advanced stage.

The problem is that early colore**al cancer may not cause any obvious symptoms.

When symptoms do appear, they can be easy to dismiss as something more common, such as:
Blood in the stool: “probably haemorrhoids”
Change in bowel habits: “probably my diet”
Abdominal discomfort: “probably gastritis”

But persistent re**al bleeding, changes in bowel habits, abdominal symptoms, unexplained weight loss or iron deficiency anaemia should be properly assessed. These are recognised presentations of colore**al cancer in the Malaysian MOH Clinical Practice Guidelines.

So how do we screen for it?
For people who are asymptomatic and at average risk, stool testing such as FIT or iFOBT can be used to look for tiny amounts of blood that may not be visible.

If the test is positive, it doesn’t mean you have cancer, but it usually means you need further assessment, typically with a colonoscopy. If you have a significant family history of colore**al cancer, your screening strategy may be different and may need to start earlier.

And what about tumour markers like CEA?
CEA is useful in certain situations, particularly for monitoring patients who have already been diagnosed with colore**al cancer, but it is not recommended as a stand alone screening test. A normal CEA does not rule out colore**al cancer.

The takeaway? Not every bloody stool is cancer, and not every abdominal pain is cancer. But if something is persistent, unexplained or unusual for you, it’s worth finding out rather than repeatedly treating the symptom and hoping it goes away.

Colore**al cancer is often treatable, especially when detected early. Don’t wait until the symptoms become impossible to ignore.

If you’re due for screening or have symptoms or risk factors, speak to your doctor about which screening or investigation is appropriate for you.

That burning feeling after meals or at night… most people just ignore it.

But if it keeps happening, it could be GERD, and over time it can lead to complications like Barrett’s esophagus.

Simple habits like eating smaller meals, avoiding trigger foods, and not lying down after eating can make a big difference.

If you’re getting symptoms frequently, don’t just tahan, get it checked properly.

A recent mercury spill incident in a Terengganu school reminded me of a question I hear all the time in clinic.

“Doctor, why not use the old mercury BP machine? More accurate right?”

Actually, no. Modern electronic BP devices are just as accurate when used properly, and they are much safer. Mercury exposure is something we want to avoid completely, especially in healthcare settings.

Medicine has moved forward for a reason. Safety and accuracy can go hand in hand.
