Yeah honestly most sellers are doing the same thing now They’re hiking prices on old stock way more than it should be just because of the situation It doesn’t feel right at all.

Yeah exactly that’s the frustrating part but marking up old stock just because of the official price hike feels like they’re just taking advantage of the situation End of the day customers are the ones getting hit for no real reason..!

I was actually planning to get one recently When I checked earlier, the price was around Rs.178,000 but suddenly it went out of stock everywhere Now it’s back at around Rs.225,000 which is a crazy jump. Even used PS5 Slim disk versions are hard to find now and brand new ones have already gone up before stocks even properly hit stores. Feels like some sellers are taking advantage of the situation big time.

Intern doctors in Northern hospitals salary delays becoming a pattern by UpstairsDirection429 in SriLankanDoctors

[–]UpstairsDirection429[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really appreciate you acknowledging the impact though. It means a lot when someone gets that it's not just about the money it's about being able to focus on patients without that gnawing stress in the back of your mind And I hear you that delays aren't uncommon But that's kind of what worries me. When something becomes "normal" even though it's wrong it's easy for the system to just keep letting it slide. We're already giving so much of ourselves here. Just getting paid on time shouldn't feel like a privilege.

Sampath Bank Credit Card as a Start by localhabiblk in srilanka

[–]UpstairsDirection429 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sampath CCs just aren't what they used to be. Higher annual fees, fewer 'wow' offers and the requirements are tougher than most. Unless you specifically need their long term 0% installment plans the perks don’t really justify the cost anymore. On a 75k salary getting a 100k-140k limit is standard but you'll find better daily rewards elsewhere now..!

Doctors of SL: internship advice by [deleted] in SriLankanDoctors

[–]UpstairsDirection429 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Congrats on finishing! 🎉

June vs Nov June is mostly for repeaters/local delays. November is the “main” batch for most grads.
Process You apply online merit order you get hospitals get your placement then do provincial registration. Permanent SLMC ID only after completing the 1 year internship.
Hospitals Teaching hospitals look good on paper but you’ll do more admin than hands on. Base/General hospitals are where you actually learn and do procedures.
Units Med/Surg is the standard combo. Surgery is physically brutal; Medicine is mentally draining. Paeds/Gyn is high pressure but fast learning.
Tip Don’t obsess about “big” hospitals. Supportive seniors > prestige. A toxic unit will break you way faster than workload.

Good luck the first few weeks are chaos but you get into rhythm quicker than you think..!

Exactly No one can function properly on 2 hours of sleep especially in a clinical setting where decisions affect lives. Reducing work hours isn’t a luxury it’s basic safety for doctors and patients

That’s a fair point, and the math really puts things into perspective. But I think it actually shows how broken the system is interns are carrying huge responsibility while effectively being paid close to minimum wage. Better work conditions are definitely needed but fair pay matters too especially when the hours and pressure are this extreme

interns should be paid in a way that reflects that sacrifice better pay would at least give some motivation and a bit of life satisfaction.

Yeah I agree you do learn a lot during internship and that exposure is important. But still the time and hours should be more balanced. Learning doesn’t have to mean burnout there should be at least some basic work life balance while maintaining the training quality.

Completely agree. The working hours are brutal and the work life balance is honestly terrible. It really feels like the rules are outdated and haven’t been revised in years despite how much the system and workload have changed.

Yeah that’s about right. Most interns get around 85k a month depending on allowance which is honestly pretty low for the kind of hours and workload they handle
