In the 1890s, Dr. Halsted created the model for residency training as we know it today. Residents worked long hours with little sleep. Sadly, we now know he was using cocaine to stay awake & morphine to sleep, and relied on residents working nonstop to cover up his addiction.

As a final year resident my program director sat us down & threatened to put “not a team player” our files if we didn’t agree to be on call every third night for a year *without* compensation.
