That is a shame thats even legal. Ignoring the personal "people need to unwind", that sounds dangerous for patients.

The flip side of that being dangerous for patients, is that constantly switching over nurses and doctors is dangerous because it becomes almost a game of telephone, things are missed in patients and patients die or are harmed because of it. That's the whole reason they do long shifts like that. They have beds in the hospital for the doctors to take naps during their shift, it's not like they are working 36 hours straight.

Now I'm not saying this is the best system, just that's why they do it that way 🤷‍♂️
