is it definitely law that a surgeon will work 48 hrs a week
Hi there,
According to judgement of court duty of residents doctors should not exceed 12 hours per day . Resident doctors are allowed one weekly holiday by rotation.
Junior resident doctors should ordinarily work for 48 hours per week and not more than 12 hours .
Working hour of day may be flexible according to workload and availability of doctors in hospital.
So maximum hour a doctor sshould is 48 hour per week it should not been more than that.
Hope it helps you
Good luck!
