Didn't I complain to you before about the lax on call set up in your hospital? I am slowly being worked to death with my on call routine.

Well, I'm not in a hospital, I'm in the National Blood Centre, so we're only on-call for reference cases for emergency investigations, and to issue blood and platelets.

We don't have the opportunity to earn as much as hospital on-call staff do <!-- s;) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_wink.gif" alt="" title="Wink" /><!-- s;) -->

(But basically, I'm on-duty 11am-4pm, and on-call 4pm-10:30pm. Most of what we get are requests for platelets, so if I leave at 9:30pm, unless I get a call straight away, or it's desperately urgent, it's not worth coming back to issue the platelet as by the time I get back to the lab the person starting at 10:30 will probably be in)
