Most errors occur when medical personnel are hungry, angry, late or tired, which is known as the HALT syndrome. The pilot who flew me here from Adelaide has regulated hours. Train and long-distance truck drivers have regulated hours. Why is it that doctors and nurses, in both the public and the private system, do not have maximum safe regulated working hours?
