If being a doctor is so incredibly hard then why are they allowed to practice after not sleeping for so long?

  You're right. It's been noticed. There are regulatory initiatives (in the U.S.) to address that for doctors. Also for pilots of passenger aircraft.

    No, it really hasn't. In 2016 the ACGME increased the consecutive hour limit from a bad 16 to a completely ridiculous 28. The difference between rest requirements for truckers and pilots compared to doctors is just absurd. And it is even worse because doctors should know better than most how sleep deprivation affects people.

  Well it's not that hard, or that important, they're not truck drivers.
