I've noticed that lawyers charge me for fractions of an hour if I call with questions. I returned many calls from patients with questions during my 20 years as a physician, and we had no charge for this. I just wonder if this has changed in the few years since I retired? It would often take me one to two hours to return all the calls at the end of the day. Most of these were not emergencies and came in after hours through the on call operator. I wonder if people realize the hours that doctors put in without pay? I do suspect this question will provoke the anger of so many who think that all doctors are overpaid already. There are a surprising number of people who do not realize that many doctors in tough specialties like pediatrics and family medicine are not making a great deal of money.
