What does doctor on call do?
You must have heard the expression of “doctor on call” but wondered what they do and what are their responsibility. On call means what type of doctor you are and how senior or experienced you are for this job. Basically, doctors on call must work beyond normal hours or shift, they must check on patients who are admitted and going to stay in the hospital under observation. On call means taking call (which can often be pagers or telephones) from clinic or other hospitals in case of emergency. Working beyond their shifts can go up to 13 hours or more as they do not have any fixed timing. While in training, being on call includes staying in the hospital overnight to look after the patients from all the groups, as well as new admissions.

This can also mean you can work up to 28 hours straight with far less sleep or no sleep. This is often done in the institution where doctors must work on call beyond their shifts and depending what speciality you are in. During the training period doctors are also trained for on call duty in the institution or hospital you are working for. The length of training programme should be significantly longer to see the same number of patients from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., for instance if the shift of the doctor is over and in case if there is an emergency in the hospital or residency, then the on call process will take place where the hospital will contact doctor (through pagers or telephone) who is working overnight will come for the check-up and diagnose the symptoms of the patient in need.
Nowadays, doctor on call have become very essential to treat the patient online or physically. There are many facilities and services available for on call check-ups 24x7 in all hospitals and clinics.
