Fall Back

I edited the last post with a different quote, more in line with All Saints' Day, and instead copied that one into today's post.

Interestingly, the daylight savings' hour change was the big topic of discussion among the residents on call. While everyone else cherishes that extra hour, the residents on call were bemoaning the fact that their call was extended another hour.

Overheard on a rainy and dreary Saturday afternoon, on call in the hospital:
"The new resident work hours [capped at 80 hours a week] have changed a lot of things. Before that, some surgery programs were known for having sky-high divorce rates. In fact, some even had greater than 100%, from people who would get divorced twice during residency."
