Safety
of Medical Residents' Long Hours Questioned —
Seven years ago, Heather Brewster's car was rear-ended by Sookim
Hong, a medical resident who'd just finished a 36-hour hospital
shift. Brewster suffered massive brain injuries and was in a
coma for weeks. The accident left Brewster permanently disabled:
she now walks slowly, doesn't remember much of what she used
to and has been declared incompetent by the courts. (National
Public Radio, All Things Considered, February 28, 2005)
High Work Stress Doubles Risk of Cardiovascular Death
— Both high job strain and effort-reward imbalance increase
cardiovascular mortality. In a 28 year prospective study of
workers in Finland, Kivimäki and colleagues found that
work stress was associated with a doubling of the risk of cardiovascular
death. High work stress also predicted increased cholesterol
concentrations and body mass index at follow up. In promoting
cardiovascular health, the traditional advice has been to stop
smoking, cut down drinking, eat less fat, and engage in physical
activity. These findings suggest that additional gains may be
achieved from efforts to change work life.  (British Medical Journal, October 19,
2002)
