Here I am driving home from the hospital after a hospitalist night shift. The closest I've ever come to killing myself while falling asleep at the wheel while driving occurred after a long day at the golf course two decades ago. I found myself driving 70 miles an hour through the middle of the Interstate median. Talk about a rude awakening.
I've heard over a third of drivers after midnight on Friday and Saturday nights have varying degrees of alcohol intoxication. But did you know 100% of drivers of nice cars driving against the grain of traffic at 7 am on any given day are probably mostly asleep doctors driving home after a night shift at the hospital. I just have a few words of advice. Stay away from them.
