I remember something that happens when I was an internt in a little town´s hospital a few years ago. In one of our shift we are four doctors. My partner and I take the first turn to rest, we was sleeping at the restroom at the third floor since the 11:00 pm and we need to go back to the ER at 3:00 am (that was the worst time to rest) but I don´t know why we don´t wake up at the correct time and go down ten minutes later.
In the team that had been waiting was the shift´s resident, and she was very angry. We were quite embarrased and we apologize as soon as we arrive.
At the end of the every shift it is usual that the complete team hand over the shift to the next group of doctors, but my partner and I finished that day alone because our resident decide (in retaliation) no to go to ER to hand over the shift with us.

This was mostly very good! Most of the issues were tense related - when recalling a story it is best to use the past tense. The present tense can be used when telling a story which happened in the past, but it is more stylistic.

I loved reading this story, but I would definitely oversleep too if I worked in a hospital! Great job, your writing is excellent.
