Just curious why seemingly one of the most important jobs where peoples lives r in your hands every day (that of a doctor/surgeon) seems to have the least sensical, borderline Kafkaesquely absurd tradition (requirement?) of literally pulling all nighters all the time ? I can barely write a coherent email after an all nighter but I guess heart surgery is different (?) I have many doctor friends and still haven’t heard a sensible answer. Anyone?
