COVER CALLS or not to?

This is a post from a friend...

Politics of call coverage
A lesson for all doctors1. When someone ask you to cover call for them but will return favor later on. Default answer is always NO, make something reason up to say no like your friend is getting married, you want to spend time with your kids, you have to be out of town.....crap like that2. If the person still wants to switch call with you, make sure you find a date to switch with that person at the time of exchange. Otherwise, they wont be returning this callthink of covering call is like lending money out, once the money is out, it will never come back. dont let people walk all over all. and dont be too nice.


Below is my reply...



Q: If you are out of crap to think of, what do you do? LOL(well if you dont have kids, you cant say spending time with kids..., you cant have friends that get married every week..)
I know that (some of) we (asian) always have the "look" on our face that tell people , "hey, feel free to walk all over us!!"

I know for sure that I will get this kind of exp later on.. sighh..
But some people told me that if you really wanna LEARN something or true skills, you better grab as many chances as possible..
If people dont wanna do the overnight oncall, you do it for them! If they dont wanna do WEEKENDS, you do it for them!

That will only sharpen your skill and experiences.. you know in this field, basically is about "experiences", and lots of repeats and knee-jerk stuff you do every day. but as a new doctor, you dont have many exp, so if you wanna stand out amount your peers, thats the best way to do it!

But if you dont care if you will stand out amount your peers, think about it, it will only benefit yourself in the LONG run... think about your pts...

Yeh maybe right now you might feel like shit when you are used, or being walked all over... hey NO ONE likes that kind of feeling! but just think about it, well I'm doing this for MYSELF and for MY PTs!! so it's like having a "secret plans" up on your sleeves, and later on when you are out doing your practice, you might attract those pts you saw at hospitals.. and by the time, your skills already much sharpened than those lazy asses!

Of course, it's all based on our own situations, if you already stayed for the past few nights, and already exhausted, of course you can not do it. but I probably would tell them that next time, when I'm not so tired or busy, I will definitely cover calls for you!!

Just remember who will be the last and ONLY ONE that still stands and laughs! Your hardwork will be paid off!!
