It was under Hellary and Chuckie Schmuck's leadership that the AMA was able to keep draconian work hours on resident doctors and keep their hourly pay at or under minimum wage for hours worked. Well, Queen Hillary knows best. /sarcasm
Since she has never had a real job what the *ell does she know about anything? Don't believe the crap about her being a super lawyer either. It was a political hack job to funnel money to 'her husband'.

Three resident doctors from Harvard sued to reduce the amount of hours they worked.
Most resident doctors averaged about 102 to 107 hours per week in the hospital.
The resident doctors wanted to reduce that amount due to number of errors caused by the long work hours.
Patients were misdiagnosed and some even died on the operating table.
The AMA sought out Hellary and Chuckie saying that hospitals would have a hard time operating if the cheap labor, work hours were reduced.
However, in spite of Hellaries efforts, the current work schedule has been reduced to 80 hours per week for most residents.

Thought about something else.
That luceat/lux phrase is of course almost identical to Matthew 5:16 ("let your light so shine before men") - in the Vulgate, "sic luceat lux vestra coram hominibus."
But we couldn't have anybody reminded of the BIBLE, now could we?
