A 35-year-old doctor dies from exhaustion after he ...

The 35-year-old anesthetist Dr. Stefanus Taofik of Indonesia died suddenly from heart failure in June 2017, after working four consecutive days in several hospitals during Eid al-Fitr (known Name of Hari Raya in Indonesia).

He had volunteered to do the extra work in his own hospital, the Bintaro Jaya Hospital, but he would also have taken more hours in 2 separate hospitals to help cover the holidays of those on vacation. After 4 consecutive days of work, Dr. Taofik was found dead in a hospital.

The young man had literally killed himself, serving his colleagues and his patients.

Scientifically speaking, the associates of Taofik should have seen this tragedy come. Extreme sleep deprivation is known to alter cardiovascular functions, including heart rate and blood pressure, in addition to altering the body's hormonal stress response and significantly increasing the risk of a cardiovascular event.
