This is regarding a hospital mata chanan devi in janakpuri. Radiology residents are totured with inhuman working hours.

While there is no concept of post duty off or pre duty off is there. Once weekly duty is there which means you have to be present in the hospital for 24 hours and no off next day. Which means at a stretch working for 32 hours.

Econdly on weekend duties which starts on saturday morning, you have to be in the hospital full saturday full sunday which is 48 hours plus you have to do your monday routine duty 9 to 5, which means you are working for 56 hours at a stretch. And on asking for an off they say okk take 3 hours. Go and take a bath and come again.

According to law of residency, a resident cannot be made to work more than 48 hours. Just want the hospital to strictly adhere to the law... Otherwise we will have to resort legally.
