What is the typical day of a pulmonologist?

Answer 1

A pediatrician commonly starts his/her day in the Newborn Nursery at the local hospital, examining newborns within 24 hours of birth. Here the pediatrician will begin to form what will hopefully become a long-term relationship with the baby's family, dispensing information, advice and reassurance about caring for their baby to the new parents. Once arriving in the office around 9 AM, the pediatrician will divide his/her time between doing well-baby and well-child exams and seeing children with specific complaints. Usually the mornings are booked with regularly scheduled health maintenance exams of children younger than school age and the late afternoon hours are filled with visits of school-aged children. Large group practices are now staffing their offices during evening and weekend hours as well.

Answer 2

A pulmonologist will spend one whole day simply seeing patients for diagnosis's or checkups. The next day he may be performing surgeries all day so their day is never typically the same.
