Not surgery related but in our icu our intensivists shifts are literally a week long. They are on site for as long as they need to be during the day (07:00-19:00 but as late as 23:00 some days) rounding /doing procedures /meeting with family /admitting new patients /consults /code team then they go home when all of that is done, but come back for any problems /crises and are on call the entire time they are not on site. We had a patient ask his long the doctors shift was and when we told her, her eyes got really large lol. It’s unfortunate but it’s the model that is the least taxing.
