Edwin Leap on the night shift. Well said:

It’s time for night-workers to be treated, not as second-class citizens, but as the first class professionals they are, taking one for the team night after night so that everyone else can rest. It’s time for night shift, already perilous enough, to stop being the entry level job for he inexperienced until they earn’something better.’ It’s time for us to recognize that medicine doesn’t stop at 11 PM and resume at 7 AM. People are sick and wounded and dying and broken at every hour of the day and night. And the nurses and doctors and all the rest who care for them are struggling to do their best with less rest, less help and more criticism than anyone else.
