What is worse in your opinion?
I used to take in house call and thought that not having to sleep in the hospital would be much better. Now I take home call but get pretty mad when the pager goes off. If it's a long case I get upset that I would be there forever and might as well be in house. If it's a short case I get upset about driving back and forth for 20 min case.
To top it off, you don't get the respect, if you will, of being on call (including compensation). People just assume you are off despite spending over 10 hrs in the hospital when called.
The in house people watch tv and sleep all day and night but somehow that is hard work.
What say you?
