Something I wonder about...
I take my daughters to a pediatrician in a practice of 3, and they share call with a fourth. When these pediatricians are on call it is not necessary to call a central board and page them, we can simply directly call a cell phone carried by the on-call pediatrician. As a parent, I LOVE this...certainly an inconvenience for the physicians. I have never experienced anything like this with any of my doctors, now or when I was younger. I'm just curious how often pediatric practices have a setup like this where you can directly call the pediatrician without going through a paging service? Is this unique?
