You still need sleep to form long term memories and make good decisions. Sleep deprivation is inhumane to the students and deadly to patients. There is no excuse.
- sandworm101 7y agoYou do realize that this isn't the entire training scheme? This is one stage of a multi-year process, starting long before med school. The most effective thing for patients would be to never be treated by trainee doctors but that isn't a practical option.
- andrewflnr 7y agoYes. What's your point? Hopefully it's not that since patients are going to be treated by students, we may as well give up and have them treated by sleep-deprived students, or that sanity in one phase of the training process excuses insanity in another. But if you're not trying to make one of those arguments, I don't know how your comment is relevant.
