whats the lifestyle like in general surgery, and FM in rural medicine? i understand that in rural areas you're on call more often, and it harder to take a vacation since you're typically the only doc around, but how about being able to set your own hours outside of call?

Definitely not a surgeon yet myself 😉 but also interested in rural GS; this is the best thread I've come across so far concerning its lifestyle:

This is a pretty new subforum, so you might have more luck searching in the IM/FM threads about rural practice.
Hope that helps.
