[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He could move to a surgery center for more regular hours.  Plus it's probably the more senior people that get the better schedules.[/quote]

No matter, anesthesiologists have set hours and shifts.  He isn’t getting called back to work an hour after his gets home because a patient needs to go back to the OR.  He isn’t getting called at 2am for an emergency (unless he is in on call).  He is not a surgeon.  All in all, he will have a pretty good schedule.  [/quote]

This poster is incorrect for most anesthesiologist settings. CRNAs are more like this. But for most njMDs, this is not how scheduling is done. yes, it is shift work. But that is most relevant for being on or off. My anesthesiologist husband shows up every morning he is working (usually for. 730am case) and leaves anywhere between 3:30pm and 7pm for an average day. He works probably 70 hours in an average week. He can take time off only in week increments.

He is fairly compensated, but he works very hard
His friends from residency around the country have professional lives structured on similar ways.

There are some jobs without overnight call and some lighter, scheduled surgicenter jobs. But they pay a lot lower and are much more 'boring.'[/quote]
