JAKARTA - The Executive Board of the Indonesian Doctors Association (PB IDI) stated that alerting a 24-hour cellphone is part of the doctor's responsibility, not a form of bullying.
"Is the order to stand by (standby) mobile phones for 24 hours a bullying? It's not at all," said Member of the Legal, Guidance and Defense Bureau of the Executive Board of IDI Carolina Kuntadjo in a press conference reported by ANTARA, Tuesday, July 25.
He said this followed the emergence of a narrative calling the order to alert a 24-hour cellphone as a form of bullying against a doctor.
Carolina said he and other specialist doctors used to alert cell phones for 24 hours as part of the doctor's responsibility to patients.
According to him, always alerting cellphones is a natural habit for doctors since undergoing education.
Students who say they are ready to participate in the Specialist Doctors Education Program (PPDS), according to Carolina, must alert their phones for 24 hours and be ready to carry out operations outside of duty hours.
"Just as parents ask their children to stand by cell phones always, I think it's basic ethics," Carolina said.
"There are patients who have to be operated outside of duty hours, is that coercion? No, because that is a form of responsibility," he said.
He stated that the order to alert cellphones and alert themselves at any time had to carry out their duties was part of education to carry out responsibilities after graduating from the specialist doctor's education program.
