No Doctor Should Work 30 Hours Straight with No Sleep

Working over 80 hours in a 7 day period is just insane in and of itself, unless there is a major crisis you shouldn't be working more than 40hrs a week.

People fought and died for an 8 hour workday, and here the AMA and hospitals are shitting all over it, putting everyone involved at risk. Should we bring back child labor while we're at it?

There are basically no children with enough experience to be doctors.

Your counter example is a fictiona character? Or is this one of those joke things I keep hearing about?
