A Sydney hospital is facing calls to review its working conditions for junior doctors, after a registrar quit due to a workload that she says “broke” her.

Dr Yumiko Kadota says the gruelling on-call hours and lack of support from within her plastic surgical unit at Bankstown-Lidcombe Hospital forced her to quit and landed her in hospital with sleep deprivation.

Her account of her plastic surgery rotation, which detailed being on call for 180 hours and being rostered 24 days in row, has received a sympathetic response from doctors around Australia.
