On the residency thing...

I was in one of the last residency classes prior to work hour restrictions. In fact, I was chief resident the year they went into effect. What a mess.

I am old school. I think the work hours had a purpose. The residents that are coming out now don't know how to work. They don't know how to triage their day to get everything done. When I was a resident and you had 20 ICU patients to pre-round on in 4 hours you better damn well figure out what is important and what isn't. You had to learn to manage your time and effort or you would never get done.

I don't think 36 hours in a row is a good thing, but no more than 12 in a row? Gimme a break.
