This message is directed to the Med Schools in the Philippines. I hope you ppl realize that rotation schedules without 8-hour rest in a 24-hour period is dangerous. In other countries like the US this is against labor laws. You ppl think its a right-or-passage. Its against labor laws because people, especially in critical professions, need rest in order for them to perform at their best. Do I really want a physician working on me after being up for 24 hours let alone 30 hours?
