Staffing enough people for regular 8 hour work days with regular breaks should be the norm. At the lowest bar, any mistakes that happen on shifts longer than that should be held accountable to any management of the hospital or government agencies making policy, not the nurses and doctors. These are preventable situations, so the people creating the situation in which this occurs should be liable.

- toomuchtodo 2y agoThe problem is we are collectively not willing to pay for this quality of life, so we operate various systems near the breaking point. As long as said systems don't fail, they will continue to operate as is. Teacher shortages, nurse and doctor shortages, bus driver shortages, air traffic controller shortages, and so on. Agree with your point that the people creating these situations should be held accountable in some form, although I'm unsure if the will exists for accountability. America runs on "maximum extraction minimum liability" as a philosophy. https://www.axios.com/2023/08/27/labor-shortages-air-traffic-health-care-teachers-police https://www.axios.com/2023/08/27/labor-shortages-air-traffic... https://www.axios.com/2023/10/26/health-care-doctor-shortages-warning https://www.axios.com/2023/10/26/health-care-doctor-shortage... https://www.axios.com/2024/03/08/aging-health-care-labor-shortages https://www.axios.com/2024/03/08/aging-health-care-labor-sho... https://www.axios.com/2023/05/08/us-labor-shortage-older-workers https://www.axios.com/2023/05/08/us-labor-shortage-older-wor...
