    This is exactly why we should have 4 day work weeks. Especially when you replace “shop” with “doctor’s office”

      Doctor? Why would employers want you to see a doctor? If you make it to retirement age they have to pay that out and miss out on a cheaper replacement!

      Not sure if that would really help the whole availability issue. We already force a large population of physicians to be on call 24/7 because there aren’t enough to go around.

          I also wonder if there would be more doctors if they didn’t have such an abusive onboarding process that doesn’t necessarily ever get any better after they finish their residence.

          It seems like there’s a vicious cycle going on where the crazy hours lead to burnout, which leads to some people leaving, which then leads to more crazy hours to try to make up for the shortage.

            What you think there is something wrong with an absolutely necessary industry such as healthcare having a falling practice rate and one of the highest suicide rates of any profession?

            You some kind of commie?

      Where I live, everyone gets paid leave when they need to see a doctor during working hours. Same is true for everything else that is “important”.

      So 4 day work week for you, but 5 day work week for everyone else you would want to visit on Friday?

        Nah, we should have different days off, duh. Let me have Wednesdays off, some peeps can have Fridays.

        Actually, I would prefer to have weekdays off instead of weekends, easier to focus with less people at work.
