As a hiring manager I view even a single short run as a potential red flag —- and like any such finding I ask about it versus simply rejecting outright. 3+ and I ignore the resume.

I’m happy that healthcare workers tend to be more empathic than what you are suggesting and will take care of patients end-to-end. You can’t load balance sick humans on the fly to achieve some optimal outcome.
