More feedback on yesterday’s study suggesting that older physicians are bemoaning the resident work-hour restrictions. retired doc comments:
This is not a hard data article but a presentation of the impressions of IM resident training program teachers most of whom trained in a era that was very different. One difference is that many faculty likely grew up medically with their limbic cortices branded with the concept that as a professional obligation they should place the needs of the patient above their needs and the primacy of that directive seems no longer to hold the same exhaled position in the medical ethical scheme.
