I was looking at some of the averages work weeks for doctors and it seems like they are around 50 or 60 hours depending on your speciality. Has anyone ever heard of docs that work 40 hours a week but that earn less money?
I know that some pediatric groups have part -time physicians and even the full time docs work around 40-45 hrs per week.pej722 said:I was looking at some of the averages work weeks for doctors and it seems like they are around 50 or 60 hours depending on your speciality.

Not being a dick, they really do. And I am still thinking about it!

You can find these places at many universities and minor medical centers. As you noted, these physicians are not paid well. They usually are held in pretty low regard by other physicians, too.
