Hi everyone
Thanks for reading this. I am about to attend medical school and one thing that has been really bugging me is the 80hrs work load for the residents with 30hrs of continuous work shift. What i don't get is how is anyone capable of staying awake for 30 hrs straight, yet people do it all the time since there are residents becoming and attending. Someone enlighten me on this? Would I be able to make it since I always need at least seven hours of sleep a night and never really had to stay up all night (except during my party days) for anything before. Is it really doable? I just don't get it. And also to do that for four years straight seem really impossible even though I like doing things that are impossible, sleep ain't' one.
How do you guys all do it?
