After a Mexican blog posted a number of pictures of a medical resident sleeping behind a desk at a hospital in Monterrey, Mexico, and attacked her for not doing her job, doctors around the world leapt to her defence by posting pictures of themselves caught napping during some of their most ridiculous shifts. These images are going completely viral under the hashtag#YoTambienMeDormi – translation (“I’ve also fallen asleep” in Spanish). In the 1980s, a high-profile case involving the death of a girl named Libby Zion at a hospital staffed by exhausted doctors led to the drafting of the Libby Zion Law. This law limits NY physicians’ work hours per week to “only” 80, showing just how overworked some of our doctors are. We hope they take it easy. It’s really a reminder to show how staff having to work over-time or due to the amount of tension at work. View the next couple of pictures which will show you proof of Doctors sleeping during working hours. You can’t really blame them.
