I mean, not everyone has the choice to separate themselves from their phones these days. It eventually becomes a habit. Probably also hard to gauge someone else’s stress levels from work.

True but I doubt they are an on call surgeon.

If they cannot leave their phone outside their bedroom, they need to be discussing it with a therapist not here.

Never meant to imply they were an, on call surgeon, just difficult for us to judge the why people behave differently than we would.

It’s always easier to judge from the outside, instead of putting yourself in their shoes.
