WhatsApp notifications in the middle of the night were the final straw. I switched those off – and every other alert – and it helped my wellbeing, sleep and parenting

    So many assumptions…

    1. You assume that there aren’t life or death exceptions/emergencies (see my updated post above).
    2. You assume that I only practiced medicine in the USA
    3. You assume that US hospitals run like businesses (private insurance companies, most hospitals don’t)
    4. You assume doctors, especially subspecialists grow on trees.

      No your context is very relevant

      So you aren’t required to be on call, you want to be on call. You want it because your patients are not well served by general practitioners, and providing 3rd parties the whole context of care they need is difficult.

      That’s fine.
