Getting to Know Housemanship in Malaysia
It has been 8 months since I Landed in a district hospital that I have never been before... It was pretty exciting initially, but now, I felt exhausted most of the time hahaha....due to sleep deprivation sometimes. Our Working Hours & Shift System Housemen in Malaysia need to work at least 66 hours per week, with only 1 off day per week, 2 days of paid leaves (Cuti Rehat aka CR) per month. Although it is written as minimum working hours of 66hours, most of the time we are required to work for at least 70-72 hours, or even more than that when we need to work overtime to finish up ward works 😅 so earning the rm5.1k per month is not that easy at all.. haha In my hospital, every department has its own working schedule for housemen, some adapted the latest TDS shift system, while some is still implementing the previous BD shift system. BD shift : 2 shifts per day, i.e AM & PM shifts, - AM is usually from 7am till 8pm, - PM is from 7pm to 7am the next day. TDS Shift : 3...
