What do folks think about the 80-hour (or 88-hour) work week for residents. Is it possible to train neurosurgeons of the same caliber with a limit set on work hours? Are work hour regulations mandated at your program and how do they accomplish this?

There was a simple review article in Neurosurgery (Friedman WA.Resident duty hours in American neurosurgery. Neurosurgery. 2004 Apr;54(4):925-31) although it's not very informative.
