Bottom line: if your hospital has an established policy of X hours for Y meal and you violate it, you're ****ed if you get sued. That's an automatic settlement.

dhb - well played, sir. 
I've already taken away the learning points I wanted from this matter, and I thank you all for your input.
In my experience, we all bring different backgrounds to the table. Hockeyguy, I understand where you're coming from, too. I trained at a big name place with 4 oral board examiners and if push came to shove they would all disagree with one another on any number of semantics. But saying that you are adopting a style of practice based upon what one person says is really no different than saying "my dad can beat up your dad." The fact that people on this board read these posts put them in a category of anesthesiologists who choose to continue to learn from one another WITHOUT trying to get CME credit. I would argue that a number of people here went to big name programs, graduated at the top of their residencies, passed their in-training exam directly after their intern year, etc. It would be wise not to discount what they have to say because in addition to those accolades, they have been out in the trenches for a number of years. You have the advantage of seeing what other people who were probably exactly like you are now doing a few years into your future.
p.s. Don't ever quote a study on oral boards unless you personally wrote it. There are a number alternate methods rather than saying "...studies prove.."
