A blog post <\/a>from earlier this month that criticized a medical resident in Mexico for sleeping on the job has led to a social media movement with doctors defending their long hours and need for rest.<\/p>\n

Earlier this month, a medical resident in Mexico fell asleep on the job while doing paper work.<\/p>\n

A blog post appeared with the pictures criticizing it. The blogger wrote,<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are aware that this is a tiring job but doctors are obliged to do their work,\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThere are dozens of patients in need of attention.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Mexican doctor Juan Carlos did the best thing against the criticism and defended the young doctor by using the \u201chashtag #YoTambienMeDormi (\u201cI\u2019ve also fallen asleep\u201d),<\/h2>\n

Juan had inadvertently ignited a movement.<\/p>\n

He wrote,\u00a0\u201cI\u2019ve also fallen asleep after operating on one, two, three and even four patients on any regular shift,\u201d along with #YoTambienMeDormi (See below for the tweet)<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
