A friend of mine that is a nephrologist (bonus points if you know what that it without Google's help) said if he is seen by a young doctor he asks "when did you last sleep?" If the answer is more than 18 hours ago, he refuses to be treated by that doctor. The scary thing is that he says it happen all the time.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17367937708444729356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4212234230338648875.post-22021878406327568172010-11-11T10:56:24.307-08:002010-11-11T10:56:24.307-08:00Yes, for better or worse we seem to live in a worl...Yes, for better or worse we seem to live in a world where in order to stay on top n very competitive markets a 40 hour week just will never do.<br /><br />Actually, I'll tell you who really have it bad: medical residents. They don't make much money, have huge medical school debt and are often worked the max the law allows: 80 hours a week! (And that limit is only an average over 4 weeks so in some cases they will work 100 hours in a single week and then just work 3 70-75 hour weeks to comply with the average.)Joseph Smidthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02583891162785742138noreply@blogger.com
