Many in the healing profession--especially those who work long hours and then are on call for unscheduled urgent demands--have to carry on high level function despite being very tired. This has been a subject of debate and criticism over the years, but I believe the problem still exists. It was the accepted norm when I started my career in the 1950's and was still prevalent when I retired four years ago. My internship tried to prepare me for this by imposing a schedule of 36 hours on duty and 12 hours off for much of the year (1957-58).

But on the other hand, isn't that part of the total coverage of the topic? Is there any woman (or man) who has gone through rigorous postgraduate training that didn't feel like this? Everybody can tell she is rung out. And all we can see are her eyes. On that level I'd say the image is a success. No?
