Question

what is the pay like?

what are the hours like?

is it stressful?

Answer 1

some say you start off with $35,000 others say you start of with $266,000. So I'm not sure. You'll have to make the choice or research more.

Answer 2

Yes. We have several in our system. Pretty much any Orthopedic surgeon who operates will work in a hospital at least part of the time, unless you are doing very minor procedures.

Pay for Orthopedics in general is very good, and sub-specializing would be even better, but I don't have exact numbers. Ballpark would be $250,000-350,000 depending on how much you wanted to work.

Stress is not a situation, it's a reaction to a situation. If it's a good fit for you it might be challenging, but shouldn't be stressful.
