We have fleets of people now who can get to practice (which is extremely stressful) without ever, ever being stress tested while they could still be stopped.

Yes I think this is bad too --- the blue-collar work mentality where you clock in and out for 8 hour shifts when being a physician takes a different mentality. A patient in crisis at 3 am needs a doctor who can respond. Also patients are in the hospital for 36 hours straight -- it's good to have that overall perspective of how things run in the hospital at various times --- not their whole career but at the beginning is a good time to learn that.

No, actually, that patient needs a doctor who wants to respond.

That can be taught. It's not inborn.
