Ask someone at the reference desk of your local public library for the Occupational Outlook Handbook. It lists all kinds of information you would need to know (including the salary) of just about any occupation you can think of.
Here is a bit of info you won't find in the Occupational hand book. I have two family member who are psychologists. The one I will tell you about was NOT a Forensic Psychologist, but had many patients from a Federal Law Enforcement Agency. I can't be very specific, but some of the things my family member heard burdened this family member greatly. My relative said treating this group was often unsettling and would require any psychologist in a field like this to require ongoing counseling themselves to deal with the things they heard, and the burden of the knowledge imparted to them. If you are treating patient's on the wrong side of the law, you may subject yourself to even worse revelations. Ask yourself if you are willing to do this , or better, go to the psychologist you respect the most that knows you. Ask him/her if they think you are tempermentally suited to this line of work. This is a noble aspiration, but not at the cost of your own mental health. Good luck.
At pharmaceutical companies there are math modelers that are coming up with ways to determine which person and cancer type will be most effectively treated with what drug. These people are called math modelers. Merrimack pharmaceuticals is one of these companies.

Well guess what that didn't help me at all. My question was is there such thing as an obstetric pediatrician and soo far no one has managed to tell me.
There are lots of different types of pediatricians, and also other types of doctors who focus on pediatric patients.
First there are the general pediatricians - those who most people are familiar with. They handle well child visits and run of the mill (although at times, very complex) conditions. The education and training they receive is extremely broad based and they are the best place to start usually if your child is ill. If they need assistance or guidance, they may consult or refer you to the specialized pediatricians in the following fields (these doctors were trained to take care of kids of all ages first - the same training as general pediatricians - before getting more training to deal with specific types of patients or conditions):
Adolescent Medicine: specialize in taking care of the unique needs of teenagers
Pediatric Cardiology: deals with disorders of the heart
Pediatric Critical Care: take care of extremely ill children in the intensive care unit (ICU)
Child Abuse Pediatrics: serve as experts in identifying and caring for children who have suffered from abuse. They also have many legal responsibilities, testifying in child abuse cases and such.
Developmental Pediatrics: focus on taking care of children who are not developing normally including things like autism, ADHD, and developmental delay.
Neonatology: they take care of babies who are born premature
Pediatric Emergency Medicine: deal with patients with acute and urgent conditions.
Pediatric Endocrinology: are experts in disorders of hormones, including diabetes, thyroid conditions and deficiencies of growth hormones or inappropriate puberty
Peds Gastroenterology: care patients with disorders of the digestive tract
Pediatric Hematology/Oncology: take of kids with cancer or blood disorders.
Pediatric Infectious Disease: know all there is to know about bacterial, viral and fungal infections
Peds Nephrology: take care of kids with kidney disorders, up to and including dialysis.
Peds Neurology: work on patients with disorders of the nervous system, including seizure disorders.
Pediatric pulmonology: these doctors know all there is to know about the lungs, including things like cystic fibrosis or asthma.
Pediatric Rheumatology: They take care of children with joint conditions and things like Lupus and rheumatoid arthritis.
As mentioned above there are pediatric subspecialties in many different fields - like orthopedics, radiology, and ENT surgery. These doctors learn how to take care of patients of all ages before choosing to focus only on children and the types of conditions they get more frequently.
And for the record, there are in fact some Obstetrician/Gynecologists who take care of the unique needs of girls as children and teenagers. At this time though there is not a formalized training pathway for these physicians, whereas physicians in other specialties must undertake formalized training (fellowship) in the pediatric conditions of their field.

Do pediatricians get paid for overtime work?
They usually get paid a salary from their practice, which means they get paid regularly by the month, week, etc. If they own the practice, they may draw bonuses when the practice is profitable enough. Most beginning doctors cannot afford to open their own practice. They have to work for an established practice until they make enough money to open their own.
Doctors commonly use stethascopes, opthalmoscopes, otoscopes, patella hammer, AED machines, patient monitors, EKG machines, IV bags, needly, x-rays, thermometer, and facial masks. They also sometimes have gloves.
And a quite important one, the syringe

The occupation of the person makes no difference on how much tax is withheld or rates they pay. If they are in a private practice and not employed by a corporation or such, like anyone who works for themselves, they have no withholding but make estimated payments on a different method. Clearly, you may not understand some of the basics of what withholding is, and some other tax matters. See answers to general questions about withholding and taxation for more information on it.
How many patients does a pediatrician see a day?
This will depend upon the type of practice the veterinarian is in. A general small animal practitioner will typically schedule appointments every 15 minutes and see one or two animals per appointment. In eight hours of appointments, this person would examine 32-64 patients, with a rough average of 40 per day. A large animal veterinarian doing herd checks, however, may see two herds of 5,000 animals in one day.
