In this era, it may be difficult to find a job, but if you encounter a hellish workplace of lower quality, you must have the courage to say “no” to yourself and your family. Dr. Ahmad Samhan, a well-known Malaysian doctor who often shares medical knowledge on social platforms, took advantage of May Day to share on Facebook a shocking case of workplace harassment that happened recently, reminding everyone to “Give your body the right to rest. “

Today is Labor Day. The menstrual leave certificate allows her to apply for leave from the company. Ahmad Sanhan said that the patient was “slumped on the consultation chair, with a weak posture, slumped shoulders, and thick dark circles under his eyes. ” And when he asked the patient “what is wrong with him?”, the patient broke down and cried while crying, he said to him: “Doctor… I am very tired.. .”

The female patient told Ahmad Sanhan that she had been working for the company where she was currently working for five years and that she was the only employee of the company, “so,” administration , accounting, personal assistant, all the work of the company was done by myself. “

The woman said that she had been so busy at work over the past five years that she vomited every morning when she woke up and lost her appetite. She was also fainting at work, but no one noticed it until she woke up. She also revealed that she came to the doctor for help hoping to get a certificate and asked the company to take two days off.

Ahmad Sanhan said the patient was a single mother who had to raise two children alone, so she did not want to give up easily. However, after diagnosis, he believed that the patient’s problem was not just physical fatigue, but mental problems caused by excessive fatigue. Finally, he suggested, “Ask yourself, do you still want to to work in the same place? 5 Up to 10 years? For the sake of your health, please change your work environment!”

Ahmad Samhan revealed that this is not the first time he has met similar patients. Everything is always difficult. There are solutions, you work to make a living, but your body needs enough rest.”
