I can totally believe that. I used to work at Electronic Arts doing QA - this was back 1998-2001 ish - and when the projects were wrapping up, we had to do mandatory overtime, 80-ish hours in a week. You could totally see the productivity drop off come hour 10 or so. Even with breaks and meals and "F it, I just have to get away from the computer for a bit", you'd still finish out the day nearly comatose come Friday.

The big issue I run into is that it's hard to screw up a patient because of fatigue-induced errors and then try to cover it with a day one patch... not that some physicians don't try.
