Young doctors could work 28 hours straight under new plan, despite possible dangers

I have always thought it was crazy that medical interns and residents are made to work hours that we would never tolerate for other professions or industries that service the public. Now I see that the private group that oversees physician training in the United States has proposed rolling back rules so that young doctors just out of medical school can work shifts as long as 28 hours.
Did you know that Medicare pays hospitals up to $130,000 or more and pay the average medical resident a salary of just $60,000, with no overtime! They are very low cost labor.
We have seen 4 large studies in the last 15 years showing that hundreds of thousands of patients die every year from hospital mistakes. Why would we want sleep deprived doctors treating patients?
As I have written before, another indirect benefit of chiropractic care is keeping some patients from be admitted into these dangerous hospitals.
