What is a typical day like for an orthopedic surgeon?

Slice of heaven: Orthopedic surgeons typically start their day early in the morning, see patients in the hospital, attend educational conferences or teach residents and fellows. They see patients in the office or clinic, and have a couple of days dedicated to doing surgery. Overall, it's very rewarding to see patients being restored to their pre-injury state. Most of us love what we do.

Orthopedic: Busy: rounds, patients, office, or, admin work.
