–> Here is a quote from the article:
“It’s dangerous,” said Natalie Mehra, executive director of the Ontario Health Coalition, which is an advocacy group.
“That is completely unreasonable and unsafe for the worker and for the patients,” Mehra said. “It means more accidents and injuries. It means more medical errors. Who wants to be the patient who’s being treated on the 50th hour of that person’s work week when they’re exhausted?”
