Residents: The Perils And Promise of Educating Young Doctors
by David Ewing Duncan (1996)
ISBN 0-684-19709-X (For those interested)
Anyone read it?
I am half way through it now and I am curious as to what current interns/residents think about it.
I am 4 years from residency, but this book is really peaking my curiosity and helping me develop some questions for when I am interviewing at potential spots.
This book discusses, among other things:
- Extraordinarily long work hours
- Scut work and the time it takes away from patient care
- Endless hours of paperwork
- Sleep deprivation and effect on performance
- The attitude that "this way is the best way" to train doctors
The book even talks about how it can affects one's personal life.
