Not sure if that would really help the whole availability issue. We already force a large population of physicians to be on call 24/7 because there aren't enough to go around.

With an additional day off, more people can go to med school!

I also wonder if there would be more doctors if they didn't have such an abusive onboarding process that doesn't necessarily ever get any better after they finish their residence.

It seems like there's a vicious cycle going on where the crazy hours lead to burnout, which leads to some people leaving, which then leads to more crazy hours to try to make up for the shortage.

What you think there is something wrong with an absolutely necessary industry such as healthcare having a falling practice rate and one of the highest suicide rates of any profession?

You some kind of commie?
