my thoughts are that it would be insane to want to work 7 to 14 days "on" at a busy trauma center. talk about burnout in less than 5 years. salary could be 10 million and it wouldn't be worth it. all it would take would be 3-4 trauma patients with multiple long bone fractures each, spread out over the course of 2-3 days to completely wipe you out--and at a busy trauma center, that is EASILY possible everyday in the summer.
and yes, there would HAVE to be clinic responsibilities. you wouldn't expect to operate on someone and have them magically disappear/heal on their own would you??
sorry if i'm harsh, but that is a bad idea. some trauma centers shift the surgeon's office days so that they are able to leave at noon after being on call. the last thing you want to do is flail through a busy clinic after being up operating all night. that would be reasonable to do.
