Laura Vater: Hypothetical safety concerns raised about interns
Laura Vater shared on X:
“This July, I can’t help but reflect on the (hypothetical) safety concerns raised about interns, but what about the safety of patients being treated by sleep deprived doctors all year long?
Sleep loss significantly increases the risk of medical error. Doctors need sleep, too.”
