TMJ 076: What It's Like Working 28 Hours Straight In The Hospital [Overnight Call]


Listen Later

What is it like working 28 hours straight in the hospital!? When and why do residents take on overnight calls!? Do you really lose that much sleep!? What should you know before doing your first call!?
 
As a 2nd year resident, I can tell you, overnight calls are not the most exciting in the world. It’s fair to say that you’d rather be home with your loved ones and pets. But there are definitely benefits to it and can indeed help you become a better doctor.
 
Some benefits include; having a set sure day for when you can get a day off; and truly being able to focus on practicing medicine instead of dealing with the admin parts of medicine.
 
As you take on a call, be warned that there are times when the imposter syndrome does settle in and the idea of taking care of other doctor’s patients can be uncomfortable especially during your first few calls.
 
What else should you expect on a night call and how should you approach it!? Well, tune in to this new episode of the TMJ Show!
