It's light because I only work 12-hour days and no weekends. That will change when I'm on general surgery, I'm sure (especially as I will have to be there every weekend).Weltschmerzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17579012638086348290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3332529589092860429.post-58280314755595102492009-07-09T22:15:39.033-05:002009-07-09T22:15:39.033-05:007 hour day! 60 hour work weeks?! Where do you guys...7 hour day! 60 hour work weeks?! Where do you guys go to medical school? Most of us were at least bumping up against the 80 hour limit on inpatient services. And it's uphill both ways! Always in the snow, even in july! /whine<br /><br /><br />Admittedly, you guys are probably just working the whole time. We have downtime but the culture says "work long hours"Whitecoat Taleshttp://beyondtheshortcoat.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3332529589092860429.post-26643158651435784382009-07-09T05:51:29.835-05:002009-07-09T05:51:29.835-05:00Nice.

I got out at 1:30 yesterday (PM!), that's about a 7 hour day... not bad (though I spent <i>less</i> time in the lab than that).<br /><br />... and dude, up at 1:30 am and you gotta be in the hospital at 5:30!!

I felt similarly way over my head yesterday on surgery, but the team is very cool and they let me out by 6, so that's nice. Although they round at 6, meaning I have to get in earlier to pre-round, so I guess it still spells at least 60-hour work weeks. Spent more time than that in the lab...Weltschmerzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17579012638086348290noreply@blogger.com
