Med student who is a newcomer to the idea of IR. In some fields such as Occuloplastics and ENT, it seems like there is a significant difference between the work attending physicians are doing in private practice vs at the academic level. For instance, at my institution there is an occuloplastician who revels in trauma cases while a private practice doctor I know doesn't touch much of that work and sticks mainly to cosmetics. I've read similar things there being divisions between "bread and butter" ENT cases in academics and private practice in the past as well. Is there a similar divide in IR?
I've also seen several posts on sdn that IR call can be pretty frequent, with many people taking call 1:3 or 1:4. For those at the attending level, is it difficult to maintain that frequency without feeling burnt out?
