Washington (OTL) - A new study has revealed that young doctors are too tired to work.
The study released by the Institute of Medicine has stated that doctors-in-training are too tired to actually get anything done.
The report revealed that medical residents, or young doctors, work up to 80 hours per week.
The hope is that with the release of this new report, hospitals will allow doctors to get more rest.
The study revealed that young doctors in the U.S. are simply too tired when treating patients.
This makes them far more likely to make serious errors during treatment.
75% of residents were said to be burnt out before they even hit the 80-hour limit.
The report stated that 30-hour shifts are not what the doctor ordered.
