I did that math one time on my 36hr shift solo covering the trauma/surgical ICU. It came out to less than minimum wage. And the current rate for residents for my program is less than $60k, which is higher than when I was a resident.

Holy fuck nobody should have to do a 36hr anything ever.

Agreed. Not a fun experience.
