Demanding perhaps, but not questionable. It's just the nature of the industry. Not an apples-to-apples comparison, but look at combat medics for contrast during wartime. There are limits to what humans can do, but the 120-hour workweek in a heated-and-cooled hospital does not bump into those limits.

Maybe it would be 'better' if that wasn't the case, but it's simply what is.

So "simply what it is" is a reason not to strive for something better?
