There is no reason you can't have regular hours if you want them. You won't be able to be as selective in choosing your group/location/pay but there are definitely opportunities to be like "I'll do 12-15 6am to 3pm shifts a month."
There are groups that will accommodate you.
And there is no call.
There's definitely stress, but I don't think that's missing in any field of medicine.
The biggest downside to EM to me is you'll get sued a number of times over your career no matter how good you are, which sucks.
