12-hour shift hard on docs


WHILE the Health Minister is reviewing the working conditions of junior doctors, may I suggest that the 12-hour shift be reverted to normal working hours?

A 12-hour day is hazardous for a young doctor. The two-shift system is generally used for guards and security personnel and is easy for management to operate compared to the three-shift system, which is tougher to coordinate.
