On call: Weekend work and healthcare

Interesting Op-Ed piece in the Times from earlier in the month.
It seems that weekend work for docs improves care and cuts costs. Anyone who's been a hospital patient knows that weekends are for the skeleton crew. That's true of many businesses. But, for one thing, hospital discharges before noon on a weekend save taxpayers.
N.Y.U. is experimenting with the line between more care and better results.
Like this line: In health care, experimentation is the mother of improvement.
