Hello!

A general surgeon is the person whi specialises in surgery. On call duty of a person who completed general surgery means he or she has to be available at any time during their shift. On call duties are mainly on the basis of a short notice and it can vary from normal working hours to emergency too.

An average general surgeon has to work 50 to 60 hours in a week, after his training. This is not included in the time available for call. If the surgeon is in a private solo practice, he or she can be on call as much as all the time. If the surgeon is in a large group practice, he or she can be on call once in a week.
