2:00 am

It goes back to the question about overtime for middle-rank or front-line staff. Based on the practice that has evolved over many years, I could be facetious and say to understaffed and under-resourced medical scientists, or whoever it may be, that maybe they should stop doing their call on their overtime and set up some kind of a consultancy or some kind of a business. I know medical scientists are understaffed and under-resourced because I live with one of them.
