In our series taking you into the lives of students across the globe without leaving your chair, BMJ Student spoke to a student who learns community medicine from Chinese books “It was a night shift and the doctors went to get some rest because the nurses would contact them if they were needed,” says Nishwa Azeem, a medical student from Lahore, Pakistan. “A patient burst into the lounge where the doctors were sleeping, filmed them on a mobile phone, and told them that they should be on the wards. I think the patient was trying to make a political statement, to say that our health system is broken. Most patients are respectful and empathetic, but there’s been an increasing number of incidents where people have filmed doctors without their consent and uploaded the videos on social media. It’s frustrating, but I don’t think people realise that a doctor can be on a 36 hour call.” Azeem started her “house job” (internship) in September2019 and worked up to 120 hours a week. “No one talks about it”, she says. “You’re on call for 31 hours, work the next day, and will probably have a night shift in the ER (Emergency) the day after. You might expect to get seven hours of sleep during a 31 hour shift, but it’s difficult to find time to sleep if you have sick patients.” Many Pakistani students aren’t as concerned about their long hours as Azeem.

来自巴基斯坦的医学生的一天

在我们的系列丛书中，您无需离开椅子就能带您进入全球学生的生活，BMJ学生与一名从中医中学习社区医学的学生交谈：“这是夜班，医生去休息一下，因为护士会与您联系。如果需要的话，他们。”来自巴基斯坦拉合尔的医学生Nishwa Azeem说。“一名病人冲进了医生睡觉的休息室，用手机给他们拍摄了影片，并告诉他们应该在病房里。我认为患者正在试图发表政治声明，以说我们的卫生系统已经崩溃。大多数患者都很尊重和善解人意，但是越来越多的事件发生，人们未经他们的同意就拍摄了医生的照片，并将视频上传到社交媒体上。真令人沮丧 但我认为人们没有意识到医生可以打36小时的电话。” Azeem于2019年9月开始她的“房屋工作”（实习），每周工作120个小时。她说：“没有人谈论它。” “您的通话时间为31个小时，第二天上班，第二天可能会在急诊室进行夜班。您可能期望在31个小时的轮班中获得7个小时的睡眠，但是如果您生病了，很难找到时间入睡。” 许多巴基斯坦学生并不像Azeem那样担心自己的上班时间。她认为有些实习生合理化工作量，因为他们得到报酬，这与……不同。并且可能在第二天的ER（紧急情况）中出现夜班。您可能期望在31个小时的轮班中获得7个小时的睡眠，但是如果您生病了，很难找到时间入睡。” 许多巴基斯坦学生并不像Azeem那样担心自己的上班时间。她认为有些实习生合理化工作量，因为他们得到报酬，这与……不同。并且可能在第二天的ER（紧急情况）中出现夜班。您可能期望在31个小时的轮班中获得7个小时的睡眠，但是如果您生病了，很难找到时间入睡。” 许多巴基斯坦学生并不像Azeem那样担心自己的上班时间。她认为有些实习生合理化工作量，因为他们得到报酬，这与……不同。
