Sunsets are not end of a day for doctors

KLANG: When the clock shows 5pm, it means nothing to a hospital doctor, and it definitely does not mean the day is ending.

Dr Zulkarnain was commenting on a survey by Malaysian Medical Association yesterday showing that 30% to 40% of all doctors nationwide experienced bullying, with 60% of junior doctors who participated in the survey confessing that they were made to work overtime every day.“Our seniors were very hard on us and called us derogatory names, but we took it all in a stride,’’ he said.

A government doctor in Butterworth who wanted to be known as Dr Jay said “if one works in hospitals with many patients, it does not matter if you are a houseman or specialist, you cannot leave at 5pm,” he said.“I had colleagues come to me sharing their experiences. He admitted that bullying by consultants and specialists, which used to be rampant, had drastically gone down.
