Let's say you are an Orthopedic surgeon who work's in a hospital, do you have to be on call or is it optional? I know you get paid more but that isn't my questions. Also, when you ARE on call, do you stay overnight? Where? I have heard that with resident's in some of these fields like Neurosurgery and Ortho you have to stay at the hospital like three day's in a row or something, that's brutal. How does this all work?
