FFS, it's because it's better to see patients in most cases over a 24-48 hour period to track theor progress. It's about setting patterns in symptoms and recovery. I've asked doctor friends of mine the same question. One said they also get to see rare surgeries, and "if I need to do this surgery on you one day 10 years from now, would you rather I've never seen it? Or seen it once at the end of a 48 hour shift?"
Everyone claiming "capitalism!" is an idiot that needs to get some therapy.
Having long shifts isn't really the problem, although no medical professional will tell you it's never a problem, having a massive patient load is. Many people can watch and learn, but expecting just a couple of doctors to have the bandwidth and energy for hundreds of patients without help is absolutely a symptom of this capitalist hellscape.
I'm not talking about patient loads, though. Just length of shifts
Yeah, my point is that with patient load, and as the two cannot be separated in the current system, length of shifts becomes a serious fucking problem. Or rather, my original point is that capitalism is very much to blame as long as it forces shift length and workload to be maximized and combined.
So how did the Soviets do it?
Who gives a fuck? There is an entire Western world of examples to choose from that use various amounts of socialism before we even have to use pure socialism as an example. Not to mention we can come up with our own solutions that don't have to rely on 'for profit' everything if we don't have the Lion's share of tax dollars going to masturbatory industrial complexes.
Thats an odd rational.
That's what they tell each other, apparently. Makes sense in a way.
