Teesha ’s Reviews > Why We Sleep: Unlocking the Power of Sleep and Dreams > Status Update

An entire chapter on medical residency and the dangers it presents to health, as it relates to forced sleep deprivation! No wonder residency is brutal!!

William Halstead, who started the first surgery residency at John’s Hopkins, had a morphine and cocaine drug addiction and believed that “residency” for medical doctors needed to include students LiVING at the hospital for much of their time. He was a workaholic. And he didn’t sleep like he should have. And he’s set a precedent that is so unhealthy! Yikes!

No wonder the newborn stage is so hard!!
