For most of the 20th century New Zealand's junior doctors, as in most other Western countries, had toiled almost endless hours in hospitals with minimal pay. The consequences of extreme fatigue on their health and personal lives was severe. In 1985 a handful of junior doctors decided enough was enough. They launched a campaign for more reasonable hours and conditions, arguing that the safety of patients was being put in jeopardy. Awake All Hours is the account of that successful rebellion.
