A 🧵

[Kelly @neurokelly]

But we make doctors work 26h shifts. Enough with the medical exceptionalism, doctors are vulnerable to the same effects of sleep deprivation as everyone else.

Great 🧵about what residents/interns do

[Jennifer Hartwell, MD FACS @traumamom4]

Medical interns will be starting their new careers this week. I think it's important for the public to know a few things about our new colleagues:
1) In teaching hospitals, we work as a team; interns ARE physicians who learn by watching, then doing, with graduated autonomy.

That totally normal thing that all neurologists do before a conference where they check every pocket to make sure they don’t accidentally bring a reflex hammer carry on #CNSF2023

[Ka nee chee @NKanichi]

Most lucky days, you meet patient still alive the next day. Some bad days, you don’t. And so for a long time, maybe days or years later, the memory nags at you, you keep wondering if they died because you didn’t ask that one question or if they’d have died anyway even if you had.

My contract allows me to work 26h shifts and average no more than 90h/week over a 4 week period (though any individual week can be over 90h)

[Kelly @neurokelly]

Working 60-70h/week was associated with a more than 2x the risk of a medical error & almost 3x the risk of preventable adverse events & fatal preventable adverse events.
