Malaysian doctors are already having a hard time as it is, having to endure problems like inhumane working hours and immense pressure.
Netizen, YS Tay, recently took to his Facebook page to share that his sister, a young specialist doctor named Dr Tay Tien Yaa had committed suicide due to workplace bullying at the Lahad Datu Hospital in Sabah.
“On February 19, 2024, with great anticipation, she reported to the Pathology Department, at Hospital Lahad Datu, where she was appointed as the Head of the Chemical Pathology Unit,” Within a few months of her placement in Sabah, Dr Tay had strived to improve the quality of healthcare at the hospital, through enhancing the facilities in her unit to improve diagnostic accuracy. She even worked tirelessly to secure resources and managed to obtain a computer for her unit.Though, only 6 months later, she was gone. “On August 29, the hospital notified the family of the devastating news. Dr. Tay Tien Yaa had taken her own life.
“Already overloaded with your own work duties, you were also assigned to deal with instrument inspections, guidance, endless meetings, mountains of paperwork, managing department personnel, planning the department’s budget and so on. Enough is enough! The newly appointed head of the department had been bullying you and oppressing you, exploiting his authority,” he explained.
