I'm not familiar with the US hospitals... But pretty much everywhere else I've seen the doctors and nurses being seriously overworked. Is this different on the other side of the pond?
- tastyfreeze 5y agoFrom what I have seen at hospitals in the US the doctors and nurses being overworked doesn't really have anything to do with a shortage of staff. It is more the culture of the business. Hospitals could hire more nurses and doctors and work normal 8 hour shifts. But, a large percentage of medical errors happen at shift changes so there is pressure to have less shift changes.
