US PCP doctors do take calls. It's less common for them to go to the hospital to admit their own patients anymore since the rise of "hospitalists" but they still take outpatient calls and calls from the ER. Also, PCPs are subject to the most metrics/rubrics of any, and all the crap paperwork that any specialist can foist off onto them, they do. Shit rolls downhill, and PCP's are at the bottom They may stop seeing patients at 5, but they sure as shit aren't done at 5. Most are logging back in even later doing all the "paperwork" they didn't have time to do during the day. Even has a nickname: "pajama time" |
