How many hours per week do most new hospital doctors work?

Resident doctors and most starting doctors work an average of 105 hours a week. To stop (or at least reduce) some of that madness, The Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (which accredits 7,800 residency programs in the United States) ruled that residents must not work more than 80 hours in a week or more than 24 hours in a row and must get 1 day off a week. Generous of them, huh?

Well, it helped; in hospitals without restrictions, resident hours have dropped to 74 hours from 105 hours a week. Not a typo. If new doctors were forced to work only 13 hours a day for 6 days straight, many would feel like they've gone part-time.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
