If you miss the first segment, if you miss the first question, we kind of talked about what it's like to get a locum's gig for a very short period of time if you're just ending residency.

So if you haven't heard that one, go back to the one before that.

Now we're going to be talking about Dr. Nate.

Yeah, so we, you know, I'm scouring Reddit right now and spending some time here trying to get some information about how we can discuss things that are kind of really on, like what people are really talking about.

So from the Reddit medicine, I don't know what this means forum.

I forget what this all means, but someone in Reddit, tell me how this works, but this is in medicine.

It says, how sustainable is 24-7 call for one week per

month procedural? And it says it seems some procedural fields have a model where attendings are on

call one week per month for what I assume is 24-7. Is this sustainable for an entire career? People

who have done it in specialties where you're frequently called from home while on

call. How intolerable is the schedule? So I will start off by saying, this is not how I work. I don't

think trauma surgery is like this at all. When they say procedure, I'm thinking, when I see this, I think

they're talking about like cardiology, interventional radiology, like those type of specialties where you can be home for a significant period of time. And then when you get called in, it's really to do a procedure and then go back home. But I feel like you kind of did this. Well, what I, so guys, let me preface this by saying when I worked, I don't do 24-7 call anymore. I don't like it. Right. But when you were at

Pennsylvania. Yeah. So one of my first gigs, the first jobs that I worked, I would do 24-7, right? So I would

work Monday 24 hours. I would take in all the traumas, all the general surgery for 24 hours from 7 a.m.

until 7 a.m. the next morning. Then technically from, you know, once I sign out,

which is at 7 o'clock in the morning, Tuesday, I'm off. I'm on backup, though. Right. Right. But that's

what I'm saying. Like to say off, is that right? Or you're just backup. Okay. So back up. Because I don't

count backup as off.

So backup means I'm in the hotel or I'm in my house and I am sleeping.

I am recovering.

But I cannot drink.
