Guaranteed 10 minute break whenever you want it. This is why I smoked in the military, I could always escape anything for a few mins while my non-smokers had to work. It was also a great time to just chat and socialize.
Only 9 out of 10 doctors. There's always that one in the bunch that spoils it.
Also, people get hurt at all hours of the day. For one, I'm quite happy that if I get hurt at stupid o'clock in the morning that there will also be medical staff awake at the same hour to help rather than making me wait for banker's hours before being treated.
Night shifts per se do not imply the current insane sleep cycles for doctors and nurses at all. Understaffing, greed, political neglect and short-term-only planning do.
