You're kidding, they seriously make you stay till 6PM *post-call*? Assuming you came in at 6AM the previous day, that's 36 straight hours in the hospital. Please tell me that's not your typical q4...

Yep. Our pedi call is supposed to be 6 am to 6 pm, but usually we get to go home by about 2 if our residents are nice. and no, this is NOT q4 call. We'd kill ourselves. it's more like 1x/week.

OB, its only 6 am to 6 am, but you arent allowed to study OR (get this) SIT DOWN the whole night, even if nothing is going on (and no sleeping either).

Medicine is the only rotation we have that we have call q4 that I know of - but that's 3 months of q4 call unless you get consults for a month (ick).
