Try 24/7 beepers going off, rushing to the hospital-no shifts, just always "the doctor". I did it for a while but never again. It nearly killed me and did irreparable harm. Cured me of taking call altogether. Office hours only. What is worse than the night shift? Try 24/7 beepers going off, rushing to the hospital-no shifts, just always “the doctor”.
