What do you think of decreasing the work hours of residents?

I think the very idea that residents have "work hours" is an absurdity.

The old system served two important functions:

1) Break quickly those who don't have the right stuff.

2) Identify quickly people who loved medicine so much that they had to be dragged out of the hospital.

We have fleets of people now who can get to practice (which is extremely stressful) without ever, ever being stress tested while they could still be stopped.

This, IMO, is very bad.
