Honestly, it irks me so much
Nowadays housemen only been working for about 56 hours a week
And yet , they want less.
And yet... They are not performing well.
Nowadays, no more oncall for housemen ... They work in shift system... 12 hours a day...for 5 consecutive days.. Then they will have a compulsory 2 days rest. It is a good system ... And yet some of them still complaining about the heavy workload...
In the future... U can't handle hard work.. How r u going to be a good medical officer?
Currently I am working at the district hospital ... Less medical officer here.. We only have 3 Anaest here... Meaning we have to do 10 oncall per month. So during weekend we do 84 hours of oncall non stop hence we get to Rest the next weekend...
Yes.. U got it right.. 84 hours!
I started working from thursday morning ... At 8am... Then I ll only going back home on sunday at 5pm... U do the math!
Nope... I never complain about my crazy working hours.. 84 hours in 4 days... Housemen only need to work 56 hours in 7 weeks.
If someone going to have nervous breakdown... It gonna be the medical officers.. Not the housemen...
But we didnt collapsed .. We didn't run back home crying..
We didn't absconded from work.
We do our job , saving life... No compromise...
Why are we able to do this.. Working 84 hours non stop? Because that is how we were trained during housemanship... The endurance...
Doctors should be able to work extra hours cause people are dying every second...
Not like some cry babies nowadays.. 56 hours a week seems to be such a burden for them..
If u can't handle the pressure..
Find another job
But I bet in every profession u have to work hard to be successful...

agree!
I don't know whats the fuss all about.. but I'm not working yet. I just hope I won't start complaining. If you think this generation is bad, wait till you see the juniors... Here itself they're already pampered. There was a student asking the RMSA president to change their lightbulb!! totally absurd!!
To those housemen / housemen-to-be who read this, please ponder upon it. Frankly speaking, please drop urself off this profession if u don't have a 'doctor's heart'.
