Tired Doctors Need More Rest According to New York Medical Malpractice Attorneys

New York medical malpractice attorneys have long known that doctors who are working while tired are significantly more likely to make medical errors. According to a leading expert in sleep studies, nearly 20% of medical interns believe they have injured a patient due to fatigue. Approximately 5% of interns believe that one of their fatigue related mistakes led to the death of a patient. Too many people and their families are devastated by mistakes made by doctors and, in New York, medical malpractice attorney David Perecman believes this problem should be getting more attention.
