Not only pilots. Truck driver resting time is heavily regulated to the point the need to record start and end or they will be fined at best. Their employers will also be on the hook if drivers are non compliant. A truck driver! But doctors? No… they are Uberhuman and can make life or death decisions after 24 hours on call and awake. Ridiculous. It is a topic that angers me a lot. This happens in Portugal as well as Poland, it indeed feel universal. I think the reason is that doctors are kind of like gods: in the hour of your biggest need it is them that can help, therefore they are highly respected and have huge influence over a wide cross section of society. Everybody will eventually need a doctor in their life. Another pet outrage topic related to doctors is the amount of time they need for training. They train almost 12 years after high school before they are qualified. What a wasteful training. They learn lots of generalities to the specialize in the end. With a 10 or 12 year higher education you are speaking about phd or post docs for a profession that requires 1 for every 1000 citizens. Imagine that ratio of phds and post docs. Is being a GP really requiring such training? I don’t think so and agree with above posts that their duties should be broken down, opened and delegated.
