Angela’s Answer

I don't know much about the life of a pediatric surgeon but perhaps go to your local hospital and talk to a pediatric surgeon who works there or volunteer in their clinic. I hope this helps.

Richard’s Answer

Working 50-60 hours per week with more than their share of night call.

Clinic: Evaluate patients prior to surgery. Explain the options including alternative to surgery. Follow up with patients after surgery looking for possible complications. Usually 2.5-3 days per week of clinic.
OR: Perform the surgery with a team including scrub techs, nurses and anesthesiologists.
Rounds: Evaluate patients who are admitted to the hospital before and after surgery.
ER: take calls from ER doctors who are consulting for possible surgical admission.
