If we decide not to go on vacation, doctors do not have holidays. day in-day out 24/7 we are on call ( consultants). Though we are not in the hospital, our minds are; on patients we did surgery; patients who were just admitted; and patients who text or call my mobile phone. I really don't know if I am the only surgeon who gave my personal mobile phone to patients. But my patients would always praise me for being so easy to talk to or to contact during emergency. This is a privilege that I gave my patients since 1986 when POCKETBELL was the mode of communication. The problem then was I had to run and find a landline every time someone would call.
Today, the problem is they call anytime of the day and night. I seldom hit the sack without having to answer text messages in the middle of the night. You might be wondering how my sex life is with these disturbances.
