I think they will take a part-time locum for this. During the week, you could do call on day 1, continue to work on day 2 and be the first MD to be relieved since you are post-call (usually by 3pm), and then take call again on day 3.
Or you could structure a weekly schedule that allows you to take call only once a week and a weekend call once a month.
