n.

A doctor who is frequently on call, particularly one who earns a living by filling in for other doctors. Also: oncallogist.

For surgeons such as Dr. Rabinovich, it means cobbling together a job by filling in for others in what is jokingly referred to as the burgeoning new specialty: the on-call-ogist.

So this is the tale of the "on-call-ogist",

Who met Richard for the very first time,

Tomorrow the 'real guy' should be in,

And he can clarify.

"Obstetrics?" I asked, intentionally making myself sound puzzled. "I thought you said you were on call three times a week."

She looked at me, her eyebrows twisted. "Yeah, I'm on call three times a week."

"Doesn't that mean you're an on-call-ogist?"
