Of course, the overworked, sleep-deprived doctor valiantly saving lives is an archetype that is deeply rooted in the culture of physician training, not to mention television hospital dramas.
William Halsted, the first chief of surgery at Johns Hopkins in the 1890s and a founder of modern medical training, required his residents to be on call 362 days a year (only later was it revealed that Halsted fueled his manic work ethic with cocaine), and for the next 100 years the attitude of the medical establishment was more or less the same. Doctors, influenced by their own residency experiences, often see hospital hazing as the most effective way to learn the practice of medicine.

On en trouvait, certes, mais des journaux jugés trop archaïques pour que des revues de presse condescendent à les citer, et des partis confinés au rôle de figurants du cinéma démocratique. Or, dans la bataille idéologique comme au guichet des banques, le crédit va aux puissants. Pour que ces vues autrefois hérétiques ou biscornues s’imposent aux commentateurs, il a donc suffi que d’autres, plus légitimes, les énoncent. « L’euro est au bord du gouffre », annonce M.
