What is the average day of a physician like?

Question

I can't decide if I want to be a physician or a nuerologist!

Answer 1

It depends on the type/specialty.

Surgeon:  rise early, do surgery in hospital; make hospital rounds; go to office for hours; go home but get called out to ER if surgeon on call.

Dermatologist:  rise when you want to;  go to office;see those patients (who keep coming back because they are never cured); go play golf; meet wife or girlfriend at country club.

Etc.

Answer 2

It depends.  All of my days are different, so what do you mean by "average"?  We all work hard.

BTW, the dermatologists I know work a LOT.  They see 40-50 patients a day, and the wait to see one around here is 6 weeks.
