Come on. You know people are lying out their asses about hours.
Here's an idea. 12 hour shifts. Like nurses. And NPs. And PAs. Who also do handoffs.

- LazaroPearson 10y agoSorry, I incorrectly assumed you were in medicine so the whole "this is all based on B.S. data" would have been self-evident. The data from which the peer-reviewed empirical studies is flawed. I know, because I am the data. I -- and almost every other surgical resident I know -- routinely falsifies their work hours. Why we do this is a _long_ topic for another thread. Please confirm with your local surgical resident; if you can find her. ;-)
