Psychological well-being of surgery residents before the 80-hour work week: a multiinstitutional study. (J Am Coll Surg) Study finds that "more than one-third of general surgery residents meet criteria for clinical psychologic distress".
Regulation of junior doctors' work hours: an analysis of British and American doctors' experiences and attitudes. (Soc Sci Med) Apparently barriers to the success of the measures mean that they have had only limited success. Shock!
