It really is infuriating that the residents can’t spend the night in my hospital taking care of my patients – too many hours of work.

Apparantly doing the same thing in a building across town for $800 a night is just fine.

I know the rules don’t allow moonlighting (they count as pt care hours) but these are not enforced. Who are we kidding?
