It's my personal opinion and this thread has some valid points.
You don't see it as you are one of them

1. Paare bus eke wadata palayaw heena maane bimin tiyala
Distance from the hospital to the residence is not considered when doctors are given their posts .So unlike other occupations, doctors wouldn't have the nearest possible working station.( I personally live 35kms away from my working station .It took me more than 3 hours to travel home from the hospital in day time a few months back.I have to take 3 separate buses as well. But 2 of those routes there no functioning public transport in the night.)
2. Ehema barinam uber or pickme ekak daganiyaw. Thopita DAT allowance kiyala 35 000k gewanne ekata neda?
Refer to first answer.( For me personally it would take 3000+ for a single threewheel ride. My whole salary would not be adequate do so every day. Anyway I spend more than 35000 on fuel alone even when I use my car)
3. Ehemath bari nam hospital wala directors lata kiyala CTB bus set karagena transportation hada ganiyav. (8 am to 4 pm)
Thope godak un mekata nam kamathi ne 8 ta wadata avith 12 ta gedara paninna bari nisa.
A reasonable solution if it can cover every shift. For example, ICU shifts start from 8am/2pm/8pm. And with handing over time being not constant everyday leaving time would differ day to day.
4. Ehemath bari nam polime avith thel gaha ganiyaw polim panala marum kanne nathuwa.
Of course I have waited in queues many time and never used the fuel pass to take the priority in the queue. But now the issue is queues extend for several days .Basically you have to wait near the fuel station till a bowser comes and otherwise if you join a queue for a station where the bowser has unloaded you wont be able to get fuel . Its practically impossible for healthcare workers.
So there goes your reasonable solutions. One other thing on-call does not mean that every oncall doctor should be in hospital premises. There is an oncall house office who would be in the ward for 24 hrs. Oncall SHO also would be nearby and would come if necessity arise . There are may be more than 1 oncall SHO depending on the unit and second oncall would come only in case of transfer. And the oncall consultant also has to come if his/her service is required. So the consultant would be oncall on every night for his ward(If he is not available it should be covered by another consultant. Especially in surgical and Gyn/Obs ward consultant can be needed for any time for emergency surgeries. By your logic consultant surgeons and VOGs wont be able to leave the hospital.
මාත් ත්රීවීල් රස්සාව තමයි කරන්නෙ. ඔය මහත්තයා දැන් කියන්නෙ හැම දොස්තර කෙනෙක්ම සජරි කරනවැයි කියලද? ඌබර් පික්මී එහෙක ගියොත් ඔන් කෝල් මෙව්ව එක හරියන එකක් නැද්ද?
I guess you havent experience Sri Lanka outside Colombo. Uber/pick me is limited mainly to city areas. ETU duties and ICU duties also equally mentally exhausting similar to surgeries.
