"Housemanship/Internship training in this hospital is extremely harsh, inhumane and border on physical and mental torture. Each houseman (depending on department) is expected to work 7 days a week. On weekdays, they are working from 7 am to 11 pm in the surgical department, while if they are on call, they are expected to work from 7am to 5pm the next day, without any rest in between. During weekends, they work from 7 am to at least 1 pm. Each houseman can expect from 10 to 13 calls a month depending on the number of housemen available. Housemen are also exposed to constant put downs from their seniors; though this trend is on the decline, it is still prevalent in certain departments. There are no off days, except 20 days a year (including weekends) which are subject to approval (and therefore can be recalled at any time)"
Cuti panjang, seperti 4 hari cuti am sempena sambutan Tahun Baru Cina.... sepatutnya boleh digunakan untuk merapatkan silaturrahm kekeluargaan. Boleh berkumpul bersama, bercerita antara satu sama lain. Malang sekali, realiti pekerjaan sebagai "Doktor" "merampas" ikatan itu.
Petikan di atas menceritakan pengalaman seorang doktor..khususnya doktor pelatih. Ini jugalah yang berlaku dalam keluargaku. Seorang anakku on Call di Hospital PJ, seoang anak lagi on call di Hospital, di Kelang, seorang lagi di Hospital Kuantan. Hanya seorang anak lagi kebetulan dapat bercuti bersama keluarganya dan dapat turut serta dalam majlis perkahwinan, keluarga mentuanya. Balik kampung pula, kesian melihat anak saudara yang kesepian,bila mana isterinya on call di Hospital Temerloh.Dahlah berumahtangga di hujung minggu sahaja, tiba-tiba jarang pula boleh berada di rumah sebab tempat kerja masing-masing suami isteri yang berjauhan.
