I have no doubt this is hard work, but is it smart work?
From having been around residents, I can tell there's a lot of work getting done 2-3 times because of poor communication or sleep deprived professionals making mistakes. And there’s absolutely no automation in the field!
Why not simply work smart instead of hard?
- throwthere 5y agoDo I understand what you’re saying… doctors are working hard because they’re not working smart? Maybe the answer is they just need a sufficiently smart person to tell them how to work?
- 908B64B197 5y ago> doctors are working hard because they’re not working smart? Maybe the answer is they just need a sufficiently smart person to tell them how to work? Correct. Duplicated work, endless shifts because it's believed that switching doctors is more dangerous than having one work for 24 hours at a time are all accepted practices in modern medicine. NASA (and the military) figured out how to solve both issues back in the 60’s as it was impossible for manned flight to work (or nuclear subs). The medical field still has not, and there’s no incentives to (it’s not result-based, unlike NASA).
