• Hierarchy: The hierarchy at the hospital is rigid and oppressive, with junior doctors at the bottom.
• Workload: Dr. D was working a 36-hour shift, a common but grueling practice at the hospital.

• Dinner with Colleagues: Dr. D had dinner with junior doctors around 2:00 AM.
• Resting Place: She went to rest in a lecture hall around 3:00 AM, as the hospital lacked proper on-call rooms.
