investigations

by f2001290 » Tue Jun 19, 2007 4:07 am
Almost a decade after New York State passed laws to protect patients by reducing the
grueling hours worked by medical residents, twelve hospitals have been investigated by
state medical officials, finding that all twelve consistently break the laws, many residents
work longer than 24 hours straight, and that more than half the surgical residents work
more than 95 hours a week.

I strongly feel that the person who made this question should have thought twice before formulating this question.

The above sentence is pulled out of a New York Times publication.
Here is the original sentence.

"Almost a decade after New York State passed laws to protect patients by reducing the grueling hours of medical residents, an investigation of 12 hospitals by state medical officials has found that all 12 consistently break the laws, that many residents work longer than 24 hours straight and that more than half of surgical residents work more than 95 hours a week."

Look at the difference between the two versions.
