Data on Physician Hours Abroad

Hi everyone--

I've been trying to do the research on my own, but I've really been drawing a blank on this one. Does anyone have a good resource measuring physician work hours (and possibly vacation time) in the US versus other countries?

Given the number of potshots taken at physician salaries recently (and the upcoming 30-40% cut in medicare reimbursement if congress doesn't get their act together), I was interested to see if I could obtain work hours data to see if physicians in the US in general work more than those abroad.

Thanks in advance.
