I would say that's the trainer's fault and has nothing to do with the
hours. Surgeons do not want to assist their trainees because the
students take longer (and that's frustrating). Instructors do not have
the patience. Secondly they don't want a resident 'messing up' their
paying patients. 5 years is a long time and should give residents
plenty exposure within reasonable hours provided attitudes change.

Having a half dead resident slouching around theaters isn't the
solution. Give them more cases then let the poor buggers have some
shuteye.
