Was at an OBGYN visit with my wife, and the OBGYN casually mentioned that she delivered 5 babies her last shift. I asked how long her shift was, and she said it's 24 hours long. I asked how often is her 24-hour shift, and she said 4 times a month; could be once a week or more than once a week, it's really up to how scheduling works. Even so, she has to work three 10 hour shifts per week outside of that for patient care. She then said she's been doing this for 26 years, so she probably delivered over 2,000 babies and laughed.
That's fucking NUTS! I Google'd it, and saw this recent Reddit post that confirms such crazy shifts, all over the world (there are comments that say that in Europe, Germany, etc. they also do this): https://www.reddit.com/r/Residency/comments/15jq0ws/are_24_hour_shifts_still_a_thing/ Why in the world would you ever want to become a doctor if you have to regularly, for decades, have to work 60+ hours a week?! --- https://i.imgur.com/XNEdLrJ.png ...

The majority of the doctors at my job are also hot af women. If you have the looks to be a model but you're also super smart and hard working, what else would you be? Some schmuck house wife or would you live up to your potential as a superior being?

Long shifts in healthcare put everyone at riskWell actually, one justification I read is that it reduces mistakes due to reduced patient turnover; in other words, info missed during increased number of patient turnover may harm more than a doctor being tired. No idea how true this is though. --- https://i.imgur.com/XNEdLrJ.png ... Copied to Clipboard!

I also assume the OBGYN was able to sleep in one of their little rooms and get some rest if they wanted. I truly doubt they're just elbow deep in uteri for 24 straight hours.

Yeah, they've got to take some breaks for sleeping and eating, otherwise they're putting many lives at stake.

Just a reminder that 24 hour shift doesnt necessarily mean no sleep or 24 hours straight of work though you can have days that are very busy. When I was in the military I regularly had 24 hour duty days. Similar situation.

Military is just "hurry up and wait" tho. This. Hospital work can have you running around and not having time to yourself during those 24 hours, let alone time to eat and sleep. The military is exemplified by long hours of boredom while you are on duty. Assuming that you're not under fire, of course. --- This rant was brought to you by your local random thinker.

Just an FYI, ACGME sets limitations on the "24 hour call", however, it is very poorly enforced as resident physicians are often told to lie on their duty hours and sometimes they are very inaccurately recorded/documented.
Seen it happen many times, even done it myself back in the day. --- https://imgur.com/siho8xp http://error1355.com/ce/megamanfreakXD.html ... Copied to Clipboard!

Most OB/GYNs have to do 24 hour shifts a few times a month. Kind of the nature of the job. A lot of patients also want THEIR doctor delivering their baby, so some OB/GYNs actually work wild hours to care for their patients.
my gf is an OB/GYN and has to do 2 24 hour shifts a month. Whats wild is those 24 hour shifts are more like 36 hour shifts. she has to do her call on weekends, so sometimes shell work Sunday 7am-Monday 7am but then has her normal workday on Monday until 5pm. I still dont get how thats even safe, but apparently its just part of the job. --- !!!!!!!!! http://i.imgur.com/DzJSPWA.jpg ... Copied to Clipboard!
