Some house officers do work beyond 90 hours


I REFER to the article “90-hour week impossible” (The Star, Dec 12) with comments attributed to Malaysian Medical Association (MMA) president Dr H. Krishna Kumar related to working hours for house officers.

I am a houseman, and I work a minimum of 12 hours from 6am to 6pm. However, most of the time it will stretch up to 7pm or 8pm.
