AB An academic family physician reflects on 30 years of night call on the very last night of call. The experiences of the drive to the hospital, interactions with resident physicians, and caring for patients through the “neglected hours of the day” blend together in the narratives of patients. Night call is an essential and disappearing part of being a family physician, tied to the intimacies of the faces, grit, words, and stories.
