Day off?

Not to be had.  But I need one.  After working approximately 80 hours last week, I am ready to take a break.  I have a mere 60 hours to work this week before I get a day off.  Apparently, the life expectancy of physicians is lower than the national average, especially for Ob/Gyns.  I wonder why?  I have a feeling that the Obestrician part is what lowers it the most.  Between the little babes coming in the wee hours of the night (they love to do that) and worry over a sue-happy population, it's no wonder that we tend to die earlier.  And just maybe, bringing each new life into the world, takes a minute or two off of ours?  Who knows.  What I'm hoping is that my genes overcome my job.  My mom's dad died at 92 and her mother at 94.  My dad's dad at 90 and mother at 86.  All 12 of my uncles and aunts, not to mention my parents, are (mostly) healthy, alive, and kicking.  Those are some pretty good odds.  Oh, and the news said this morning that women drinking 1 to 2 glasses of red wine a day, also increases their health, I'll toast to that.  So drink up!
