There is an entire class of employment in healthcare called "per diem", and everyone who touches a patient can work per diem: doctor to therapy assistant. Probably stems from an admittedly patriarchal system wherein nurses often marry doctors, and suddenly find themselves with healthcare benefits for life, then deciding they don't want to work full time.
