Its really strange how much punishment doctors seem to receive and how much they're willing to take. The hours alone would be laughable in any other industry.

The hours are, to some extent, imposed by the various medical governing bodies either directly or by artificially restricting the supply of doctors. These bodies are composed largely of doctors so the problem is to some extent self imposed. In the UK doctors are not governed by the working time directive because the UK negotiated an opt out so hospital doctors work ridiculous hours. As far as I can tell this problem does not exist to the same degree elsewhere in Europe.

In UK doctors are treated much worse than they are in the USA.
