A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

This is exactly why we should have 4 day work weeks. Especially when you replace "shop" with "doctor's office"
Doctor? Why would employers want you to see a doctor? If you make it to retirement age they have to pay that out and miss out on a cheaper replacement!
What you need are good laws, not so much a 4 day work week. I just go to the doctor during office hours and tell my employer I have to go. I even get paid time off for it, like everyone else working in this country. Same for the dentist or any other kind of medical thing.
Sure, it's not always optimal if you work in some sort of shift, but they are required to make sure you can go.
By the way, not that I wouldn't appreciate a 4 day work week, but this seems like a bit of a stretch to say that this is the reason why you would need one.
Yup. This is the way.
But I live and work in the US which means I have no paid days off at all and even if I tell them I have something to do they can call me to tell me to work and be upset if I don't immediately come to the aid.
I really wish we just believed in reasonable work life balance but I will accept a shorter work week but that's just gonna go to the upper classes only again.
Not sure if that would really help the whole availability issue. We already force a large population of physicians to be on call 24/7 because there aren't enough to go around.
With an additional day off, more people can go to med school!
I also wonder if there would be more doctors if they didn't have such an abusive onboarding process that doesn't necessarily ever get any better after they finish their residence.
It seems like there's a vicious cycle going on where the crazy hours lead to burnout, which leads to some people leaving, which then leads to more crazy hours to try to make up for the shortage.
What you think there is something wrong with an absolutely necessary industry such as healthcare having a falling practice rate and one of the highest suicide rates of any profession?
You some kind of commie?
Where I live, everyone gets paid leave when they need to see a doctor during working hours. Same is true for everything else that is "important".
But not necessarily the same four days as me.
