>. In 2003 a cap of 80 hours a week was instituted

Oh you sweet summer child, was instituted on paper

Here's how it actually works. "Mark down the hours you worked this week. Oh. And if it's over 80 of course we'll run into big problems for violating this rule and your residency will lose credentials which is bad for you.. also we'll know it was you"

People who work 90, 100, 110, 120 hours (gets hard north of 130), guess how many hours they put? 80 if they're feeling nice, 81 if they want to make a point. Even today.
