What do you think about the following thought on night shifts on hospitals?

From what I know, the nights on call, there is fewer personnel, and, consequently, fewer senior doctors to whom the less-experienced resident/intern
(with a medical degree, anyway :-) ) can go and speak to, especially when they’re busy attending. The decisions are all on the less experienced, and I personally think the hospital system COULD be (not should, because, I’ve really no idea
;-) ) better internally structured. I mean, it’s a matter of saving people’s lives, the BEST and the MOST COMPLEX profession the world knows. The hospitals must be 100% efficient, and 100% dependable. That said, I suppose this question calls on the doctors, nurses, residents, etc. here on Fluther. What do you think?
