my residency years were 1989-1997 if you include fellowship. It was a rarity that I got no sleep when on call for all services except trauma. Most of the general surgery services did not require the surgery resident to be up all night but simply to be in house for calls, problems, etc.
Now call for the residents does typically mean no sleep because one resident is covering all services rather than just their own. Much more work for one person than the same work divided among many.
my 2 cents...
