WhatsApp notifications in the middle of the night were the final straw. I switched those off – and every other alert – and it helped my wellbeing, sleep and parenting
Yeah I think your inability to turn off notifications is artificial. There’s no reason that these emergency calls can’t go to a landline in a staffed hospital instead of directly to one specific doctor.
If the organization requires this, that’s different from it actually being impossible to do otherwise.
If your hospitals are businesses, you as their employee are subsidising them. They could spend the money on an additional, qualified doctor, but they won’t.
So you aren’t required to be on call, you want to be on call. You want it because your patients are not well served by general practitioners, and providing 3rd parties the whole context of care they need is difficult.

So many assumptions…
No your context is very relevant

That’s fine.
