I'm comparing work days so on average, how many patients do you receive a day? How many hours do you work? Do you work on weekends? What type of patients do u typically see? Are you exhausted after the day is over? Overall, do you like this job?

*Your replies could possibly be used as an "interview statement". If you don't want me to use yours then please specify and I would gladly respect that. Thank you.

Chiropractor-

I work 50 hours/week. Plus an additional 5 on more paperwork.

I work 40 hours a week for the Department of Public Health Division of Early Intervention

I worked 15 hours per week for Jackson Hewitt during Tax season, mostly for kicks and giggles (Yeah, I'm a sicko, I LOVE doing taxes)

I worked about 10 hours per week teaching an online course for a DScPT program

When one project ends, I open up another . . . I'm working on an article in my "spare" time and will spend about 15 hours per week on DPT studies starting this fall. This has not left much time for rehab consulting (and yes, I consult to PT, DC, and MD practices regarding business management, PR, and billing issues).

I work at least 50 hours per week, seeing anywhere between 20 and 35 patients per day. I like being busy and running around, but do get exhausted, especially with the increasing paperwork demands set by insurers and Medicare.

I also put in 10-15 hours per week on my website, reading articles daily and abstracting them, checking out new PT websites, etc.

I currently do a golf radio show on Saturday mornings covering fitness topics.
