The problem isn’t adequate number of doctors….it too many trainees.

Trainees training others is what happens at frequently at teaching hospitals. All these folks are too busy. Somethings the third year is inadequately trained to teach a first year - they teach them bad habits. And often academic facilities don’t value good patient care….they value national recognition and publications. It is the folks of the lecture course that get promotions.

This I’m sure happens in all fields…in medicine it leads to deaths.

There was a joke that you never want the visit an hospital in July, as that is when new residents were around. The fact is that there is an ounce of truth to that joke. It sure feels like mortality increases in July.
