After a Mexican blog posted a picture of a medical resident
sleeping behind a desk at a hospital in Monterrey, Mexico, and
attacked her for not doing her job, doctors around the world
leapt to her defense by posting pictures of themselves caught
napping during some of their most grueling shifts. These
images are going viral under the hashtag#YoTambienMeDormi
(“I've also fallen asleep” in Spanish).
In the 1980s, a high-profile case involving the death of a girl
named Libby Zion at a hospital staffed by exhausted doctors
led to the drafting of the Libby Zion Law. This law limits NY
physicians' work hours per week to “only” 80, showing just how
overworked some of our doctors are.
A blogger snapped these pics of a sleeping resident in Mexico at 3
a.m.
The writer criticized the young resident, saying that "doctors are
obliged to do their work"
There were "dozens of patients who need care," the blogger
continued

Mexican doctor Juan Carlos responded by posting a tweet with the
hashtag #YoTambienMeDormi (or “I've also fallen asleep”).

Soon, hundreds of other doctors began defending the resident doctor

Other doctors also posting their pictures sleeping at work

Make I rush go do mine

Pictures trooped in

I thought only Nigerian bloggers are attention seekers, bloggers are seekers of attention with their unnecessary criticism worldwide..

The thread is actually about the attention seekers, bloggers! u are noted too, u exist

Doctors are human too they should be given enough time 2 rest.

Hehe..., there's not much you can do to stop sleep when you spend 10-plus hours gropping the insides of a random dude!

I don't blame them jare.....they work for hours without sleeping....

dem try 4 d defense

Are they not human? Why won't they Doze off sometimes? Body no be firewood oh

These people practically decide life and death after the Creator and someone is complaining that they sleep? I can't imagine being under the care of a doctor who has been sleep starved for so long.
