Interns’ Fatigue
* Re “Waking Up to the Problem of Fatigue Among Medical Interns,” April 16.
When a normally intelligent person makes a totally ridiculous statement, I look for the hidden reason behind the statement. When the two doctors stated that fatigue did not lead to mistakes, my suspicions were aroused.
The true reason that medical interns are overworked and sleep-deprived is that the hospitals are greedy. The only way to stop this is for the victims of mistakes to sue and make it too expensive for the hospitals and their mouthpieces.
