The sick doctor

Pilots are forced to rest for a minimum duration before they resume their next flight 'to ensure no accident occurs due to human error as a result of inadequate rest'. Shouldn't a surgeon receive the same consideration. Why is it that we are expected to be active sharp and possess the most acute faculties irrespective of time. Due to a slightly messed up class schedule and theatre times I have recently been attending theatres in the morning skipping breakfast. In a very complicated part of a thyroid surgery my hands started trembling. Whether due to hypoglycemia or nervousness I dont know.  Blurry vision and slight dizziness hit me during an emergency surgery which occurs following a night duty. Both instances are examples of how doctor is incapacitated merely due to a punishing schedule. And this happens world wide. Is it not time we took a stand. Rested our doctors to ensure the output that we get is of maximum quality. Instead we are making medicine more commercial quantity oriented,  longer hours from the doctor resulting in more revenue more patients seen. More service provided. But is inferior service worth it
