PrepTest 46, Section 2, Question 10
Air traffic controllers and nuclear power plant operators are not allowed to work exceptionally long hours, because to do so would jeopardize lives. Yet physicians in residency training are typically required to work 80-hour weeks. The aforementioned restrictions on working exceptionally long hours should also be applied to resident physicians, since they too are engaged in work of a life-or-death nature.

Resident physicians have a more direct effect on the lives of others than do air traffic controllers and nuclear power plant operators.
The more hours one works in a week, the less satisfactorily one performs one's work.
