Best Answer

Day or Night, the work sees no sunlight distinction. High paced, high energy, high stress, low paying job with outcomes that oftenly are very self gratifying. The day starts before 7a. The first elective case in the OR begins at 7:30a. Generally, a surgeon has a 2.2 case average per day, not counting assisting. Rounding in the hospital on new and old patients fills the rest of the day. Call carries through the night, once or twice a week. Weekends are split among the available surgeons. Usually one to two weekends a month.
