Are these really the people that should be required to work so much? Isn’t their job about handling life and death daily? Wouldn’t we want exactly these people to come fully rested to work every single day and be fully staffed?
I don’t know if there are jobs with similar stakes that are so carelessly staffed and disgustingly paid.
I’m not talking about patient loads, though. Just length of shifts
Yeah, my point is that with patient load, and as the two cannot be separated in the current system, length of shifts becomes a serious fucking problem. Or rather, my original point is that capitalism is very much to blame as long as it forces shift length and workload to be maximized and combined.
So how did the Soviets do it?
Who gives a fuck? There is an entire Western world of examples to choose from that use various amounts of socialism before we even have to use pure socialism as an example. Not to mention we can come up with our own solutions that don’t have to rely on ‘for profit’ everything if we don’t have the Lion’s share of tax dollars going to masturbatory industrial complexes.
