The entire medicare residency slot system seems a bit self inflicted, why hasn't an alternative system popped up?

Also this is a global problem, not just the USA. You look at videos of student doctors in the UK for example and there are similar abusive schedules. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KE1XwEMGm0I

Read Adam Kay's "This is going to hurt" [1]. It was made into a miniseries. I read the book and it was so horrifying that I couldn't face watching the dramatisation.

It doesn't seem to be such a big problem here in Norway where things like working time directives are taken much more seriously.
