Dear CodeBlue,
I have good news to share.
The JPA (Public Service Department) released me from my bond. I just got my email today.
I hope others who are waiting like I am will find release soon.
I feel more hopeful today than I have been in months.
I thank the government for having raised me, and I thank them today for allowing me to leave. God bless our government and nation.
Dr JJ is a contract medical officer, who started his housemanship in May 2017, wrote to CodeBlue two days ago on March 1 to ask JPA to release him from his bond. Dr JJ wanted to quit because of depression and anxiety, and also to help care for his incapacitated father (a post-stroke patient). CodeBlue is providing him anonymity because civil servants are prohibited from writing to the press.
