And they say: coffee is the answer

Recently we hear in the news, the issue of medical professionals being overworked, which poses risks to lives of patients. It is said that doctors who have fatigue are likely to make mistakes, which could in some instances cost the lives of patients. Queensland Heath therefore has suggested that doctors drink coffee to keep them awake.

There u are - drink coffee. Simple as that. That's their answer. Pffffhhhh.
Well then, why stop there??? Why not go further & allocate different coffee brands to the different medical types?? For instance, they should tell get anesthetists & oncologists to drink only Gloria Jean's. They should tell neurologists & dermatologists to go only to Zaraffas. The should tell cardiologists & podiatrists to only take Starbucks. And they should tell oncologists & radiologists to only drink Hudsons Coffee. Anyone who drinks outside their allocated coffee brands will face disciplinary action. There, that should work, eh?????? Whooops, I forgot to mention dentists & psychiatrists. How they must feel left out......poor things. Surely the powers that be can come up with better & more constructive solutions for overcoming fatigue than simply telling medical professionals to drink more coffee. Sheeeessshhhh.
