[edit] On-Call Rooms in media

On-call rooms frequently appear on television due to the evocative image of a sleeping doctor/police officer.

  • On the NBC sitcom, Scrubs the doctors will often sleep in the on-call room.
  • On the NBC drama, Law & Order: SVU, detectives will "crash" in the on-call room while working.
