"Public Health Officers (Public Health Physicians / Pakar Kesihatan Awam) are the medical generals of the nation. To strictly differentiate: The "Emergency Room Doctor" treats the single patient dying of Dengue in the hospital. The "Epidemiologist" (who may be a non-doctor statistician) calculates the spread of the virus. The "Public Health Officer" is the fully licensed Medical Doctor (Pakar) who commands the entire District Health Office (PKD), orders the fogging of 1,000 houses, legally quarantines a village, and shuts down the filthy restaurant that caused a food-poisoning outbreak."
Pulmonologist
"Pulmonologists (Respiratory Physicians / Pakar Paru-Paru) are the absolute medical commanders of human breath. To strictly differentiate: The "Respiratory Therapist" physically pushes the buttons on the ventilator machine. The "Cardiothoracic Surgeon" violently cuts the chest open. The "Pulmonologist" is the highly educated, overarching Medical Boss. When a patient is dying of severe COVID-19, asthma, or lung cancer, the Pulmonologist mathematically calculates the exact pharmacological drugs required, dictates the exact pressure settings for the ventilator to the Therapist, and uses microscopic cameras to hunt for tumors deep inside the lungs without cutting the chest open."
