Pain Job Question

[Green Grass]

Those jobs that tout "no call, no weekends", who covers the patient population at night? Do you truly leave clinic at 4 pm and return at 7 am without any nightly interruptions?

In my group, the 5 PCP's cover. My patients call if post-op only. Not post procedure unless something bad happening.
Med questions as routine to on call get you dismissed from the group. No issues in 9 years.

I guess it depends on what the practice setup is, but that sounds awesome. Thanks for the reply. Glad to know those jobs exist.

Basically every pain job is like that in the real world.

personally, i covered all call for 2 years, then hired an NP, who takes half the call, but i am always on back up.

average 1 evening call a month (before 9pm when pharmacy closes), and 1 late call every 6 months. we discharge patients who call after 9pm.

i have not gone in for a weekend in 6 years.
