Obviously you would be wrong. Rather he has the chutzpah to argue that he should be legally allowed to sleep on the job.

Rongers said that his sleeping did not adversely affect hospital security because the dispatcher could wake him if his presence was immediately required.

What and disturb his sleep? How inconsiderate would that be! I also wonder about the lawyer who took his case. But I guess being a lawyer means that you have no shame.

If he works an 8 or 9 hour shift, he has the rest of the day to catch up on his sleep. Perhaps he would have preferred the hospital had not given him a job when they found out he had heart medication that made him sleepy and might have caused him to fall asleep on the job?
