I think those two items and the tribal knowledge that handoffs are more dangerous to the patient helps the overwork model persist. Sounds like it's past time the medical industry prove that handoffs are more dangerous to patient outcomes. Doctors are trained to be problem owners and problem solvers, but that doesn't make them good team players.
