Would you be willing to be in a relationship with an on call surgeon?

[CAPTAIN-OBVIOUS]

Picture this. You are sitting down with your so and they get a call from the hospital because they are needed so they have to leave the dinner table and go to work leaving you alone at the table.

Yes

No

[melanieeeB]

Honestly this was a tough question haha but a good one

I wanted to say yes, cause that's a really great job someone has and I totally understand when they have to leave but then I remembered that I didn't even enjoyed when my ex worked on the weekends (cleaning a doctors office). Mostly I went with him and helped out, so we could still have time for us and that he would be finished faster but ughh it was awful and I was so happy when he quit.
Like we were having a great night and then suddenly he was like "Oh i have to go, I need to clean" and so we would get up either 11 pm or 4 am in the morning and go...

And this was just his side Job...

I can sometimes be on call for my job, but not nearly as often as a surgeon would be, but not a issue if my SO has a on call job.

[Guy13]

That’s no big deal. It’s not like he/she has to work out the country or state for 3 months…. 💩, break probably would be nice and I finally get a chance to go get half gallon of ice cream and knock that out before she shows back up 🎉. Please, go ahead…”awww, really-you’re on call again.” 😎

[OlderAndWiser]

Physicians are not on call constantly. They generally practice in groups and one of the benefits is that they take turns with being on call. They may be on call one week per month, and you know that schedule in advance, so you can plan around it to avoid such occurrences as you described.

I would be willing to be in a relationship with an on call surgeon and a lady in other demanding jobs as well. Someone needs to do those jobs and I think they deserve to have a supportive spouse who will understand them and help them. As long as she is able to have some time to be fully able to relax at home, I think it will be fine.

[hahahmm]

Nope. There's that old saying about not needing 2 cooks in a kitchen. I'm very old school when it comes to relationships and I don't see the benefit of both people having stressful/intense/high paying careers. Unless they're both working together on the same business, I guess.

[dustybiker]

It’s an intelligent position. Absence is a double edged sword though. Some is good, too much is bad.

[pepper1993]

No I hate dating people who are rich and successful

[Iron_Man]

I’m not really interested in that kind of field they’re married to their job and never home they come home just to shower eat and go right to bed

[HighValue]

No. The long and sometimes random hours is the main reason I wouldn't want to date a doctor.

[AsaKyo]

Probably not because I can't even really handle being away from someone I really like for 3 days

[tfan1]

If I wasn’t married, I’d be ok with it. With her being busy like that, doubtful any chance of her cheating.

[Surely]

If you knew this from the start. It is something to be expected! Of course I would date someone like that!

[EaterPeter]

I guess.

Pro she is on call she is gone at odd times

Con she is gone when I need her most

Con she have iron clad alibi

[Jamie05rhs]

That's fine. That's the nature of their job. I would understand.

[TonyMetal___86]

Nope thanks, i won't even marry a girl who wants to work, i prefer the housewife all the way...

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

Man, for a temporary time I can say yes, but definitely something not permanently.

[Part2603]

Depends. How big are her boobs?

[zagor]

If she was a cute Asian girl, sure.
