Pediatric intensive care doctor. I am one of a group of 14 ICU docs and 6 pulmonologists who cover four hospitals and provide pulmonary and sedation services for critically ill children. We see everything from trauma, infections, seizures, cancer and respiratory failure to patients who are postop from cardiac, neuro, abdominal, thoracic and orthopedic surgery. And we cover the burn unit. And have four outpatient clinics. And a few outreach clinics. We also provide about 3-4,000 outpatient sedations a year for MRIs, procedures on the kids with cancer (bone marrows and spinal taps) etc. Great job. Crappy job. This is why I need a bike! Something about those 24 hour shifts that just makes you need a little freedom....
