A Trauma Surgeon works on average of 60 hours per week but some Trauma Surgeons are on call all the time meaning they could have to return to work at any given time even after their shift ended for the day or night.

If the Trauma Surgeon is needed to perform surgery during an emergency that happens after the Trauma Surgeons shift then the Trauma Surgeon would have to head back to work.
