Since we all know exactly what kind of working conditions our doctors are facing, I think it’s time they stopped complaining and just accepted the reality of the situation. This is government service, and they are receiving a government salary.
If I were a doctor, I would follow the civil service rules to the letter. I’d put in my honest eight hours—taking my scheduled thirty-minute break, of course—and then I’d pack up my things and head home.
If I happened to stumble upon a patient dying on the floor right outside my clinic, I’d probably just step over them and let them wait until I clocked back in for my next shift.
If I ever felt the urge to make some extra cash, I’d just open a private practice and take in all those patients who refuse to play by the rules of the public healthcare system. So, I’m asking all the disgruntled parties to please adapt to the existing framework, since you already know exactly how it operates. If you’re truly unhappy, go ahead and organize with the doctors, offer them better incentives, and then you can give them all the grief you want.
It’s a simple, clean, and professional way to look at it.
