I have blamed this on "shift mentality" for years. Back in the old days (sorry), you were there until your work was done, so you did it. Human nature being what it is, if you have a set time to leave, you tend to watch the clock, and anything that is not done becomes someone else's problem. The solution (for the docs) is simple----if you start a case, you finish the case---and no OT.
Yes - until the "Union" mentality intervenes.
