They are overworked. If you work 24 hours from 8AM Sunday to 8AM Monday then start work again at 8AM Tuesday, then you qualify as having had a "day off" on Monday. Weekly work hour restrictions (80 or 100 hours) apply as a rolling average over the last month, so if you have a week-long vacation then the hospital can make you work harder than normal for the next three weeks. These are just simple examples illustrating how the doctors treating you are treated by their hospitals.<br></p>TedHowardFri, 27 Feb 2009 04:30:50 -0000
