the day varies based on type of practice and caseload but in a general sense there is actual seeing patients, documenting each case/visit, follow up with other professionals involved in case be it a nurse, technician to specialist MD. there might be office duties if in private practice but many MD have support staff from nurses, office managers and scribes to make the day more focused on patient care.

One day per week dedicated to surgery starting at 8:00 am and finishing around 3:00pm followed by postop checks at the office.
4 days per week: round on patients in the hospital starting around 8:30 am then see patients in the office 9:00am to 4:30pm.
Finish paperwork and charting at the end of each day and plan to be home by 5:30 or 6:00.

remember you give needles, don't get them so do onto others like you would to you! surgeries are great but there will be tough ones and the best surgeons have a gift from above doing the types of magic they do helping people. research different types of doctors and areas of specialty, e.g. a radiologists reads imaging all day and writes clear precise reports for the doctor with the patient to explain what was seen in the X-ray or MRI.

There are multiple subspecialties in Radiology, so each of my partners daily work is quite different. I am an Interventional radiologist. I spend about half my time looking at Medical Imaging ( CT, x-ray, ultrasound, and MRI) to diagnose diseases. The other half of my time is spent performing procedures. We use ultrasound, CT, and x-ray to guide various Tools into different parts of the body to diagnose and treat illness. We can open and close arteries and veins as necessary. We also inject radiation and chemotherapy directly into tumors.
I work about 50 hours per week. My hours vary as my group provides 24/7 service. Twice a year I work a week of night shift; and twice a year, I work a week of evening shifts from 4-11 pm. Some radiologists work in outpatient centers and can have more regular hours.
