>> ‘I’m not starting a big meningioma at 4 p.m.,’ she declared, turning towards me. ‘I’ve got no childcare this evening.’

so with the scale of the money involved, the system can't deal with several hours of unscheduled in advance childcare? No intern around to send take care of it?

Ehhhhh, I don't really think anyone should be asked to work into the evening unannounced. Sure the stakes at hospitals are high, but that's all the more reason staff shouldn't be stressed, overworked, or distracted. The 40th time you ask your anesthesiologist to work late and put their child in night care from 5-9pm, they're gonna be pretty resentful, and rightly so. Do you want a resentful anesthesiologist? I sure don't.

Maybe the hospital should offer free childcare to employees.
