The sad thing is that there is an optimal number for working hours for employees in "potential emergency jobs". It is around 85% or so. (I forgot the source, I think it was Gerd Gigerenzer on managing risks.) This way, they can handle most emergencies in a good way.
Reality is that many doctors in a hospital work 120% already. This either kills the doctors or the patients.
The issue is that most doctors genuinely want to help their patients and feel some kind of personal responsibility and thus, can easily be exploited by the healthcare system to work longer hours. If they don’t do it, patients die, because there is no one else taking care of these patients.
