Is the 80-hour Rule Ruining Medicine?

Comparing our system to itself isn't going to answer the question, of course things get worse when you cut the hours and continue to do things the same way. European medicine as outcomes as good as ours, and much more reasonable training hours. How do THEY do it.
I spent 6 weeks as a medical student in a French hospital. The only things I have to suggest is that there seemed to be more direct attending to resident time, and fewer residents per attending. There wasn't this endless cloud of residents talking to each other. (I have just put this together. I am going to think about this some more.)
