What does your average week look like? How often do you take call, and how you do deal with call later in life?

Gen cards. M-F, AM/PM clinic. Before/after clinic or during lunch; notes, paperwork, phonecalls, read echos, see inpatient, etc. TEEs and procedures scheduled whenever. Call average 1x/wk, 1 weekend every 2mo. I'm consultant and primary team does a good job of handling things. Call is not bad. It's also a smaller hospital with good patient population, which helps. I'm not sure how I'll feel about call later but right now it's fine.
