There is no guarantee, however, that limiting residents' shifts is the key to patient safety. Dr. Kenneth Polonsky, chairman of the Department of Medicine at Washington University in St. Louis, who co-wrote an editorial accompanying Nuckols' study in the New England Journal, says that while some studies show a correlation between fatigue and mistakes, not all reach the same conclusion.
