I can so relate. I'm in healthcare as well. When I worked in a hospital, I had to take call a part of the time--I hated that pager. It took a while to stop hearing it after I left that job. I went to work in homecare, and because I work alone in a rural office, I'm on call 24/7. And I have a territory that stretches about 1.5 hours on eithe side of where I live. Cell phone reception is not great where I live, and I'm always concerned I'm missing a call. I also hate to do anything for fear of being called out in the middle of it.

Although I'm sure I don't get called out as often as you are, I can relate to how you are feeling.
