Not really any one, most sectors have office hours, schedules, on-call rotation etc.

It's unusual to saddle a single person with 24/7 required availability. Do you not have a single colleague you can rotate after hours calls with?

Headline reads: "i turned off ALL notifications forever".

My take: there exist people who can't do that.

Your take: US bad.

My take: not a US-specific issue.

Your take: please describe your call schedule in detail because your claim is unusual.

Thank you, but no thank you.

As a Dr’s kid nothing you have said sounds unusual for your job. My dad didnt like getting calls asking for free care but he was more than happy to run to the neighbors house when my buddy, aged 5, called at 3am and said “The baby is blue!”. That baby is 45 years old now and not blue.

Tbh suddenly changing skin color is nothing normal for humans

And it's great my buddy's first thought was that my dad lived a block away and is a doctor.
