Now when I got the answer from school, I wasn't really sure anymore.

I might save the money or take an exchange somewhere else.
Thank you for your advice... So it is really that bad?

How long are you a "junior doctor" and have to work so many hours?

Why haven't adopted the way of working as western doctors? It is a rich country and could do that.
To keep healthcare cheap and gain neccessary experience, it is imperative that junior doctors work longer.
Actually 80 is very good. It used to be 160 hours, with calls every other day and no extra pay for the calls last time. Practically stay in hosp every day.
Anyway it is a rite of passage. And conditions are really good now compared to last time.
