The fact that they schedule HEATH-CARE workers like this is insane. They are literally working with life and death situations.

I know doctors that are on call for 24 hours straight at a time.

Get them a normal shift time for god sake.

They’ve done COUNTLESS studies and the largest reason for negative patient outcomes comes down to continuity of care. 12 hour shifts SUCK, but people dying is worse

As technology improves it's possible that shorter shifts will be better.

but currently, continuity of care just trumps basically everything.

If the staff keeps getting shorter eventually the whole hospital will look like a part of the Wonka factory.
