That's great question
Basically patients care is the primary goal for Doctors and nurses and health staff in general.
How patients are taken care basically depends on the paid down care procedures as per the laid down care policy and guidelines depending on the condition of the patient.
Basically we work 5 days a week, however we can work shifts and on calls too so as to ensure the hospital is covered which may include night shift.

Hey there, Axel!
You know, we're all eagerly awaiting those wonder drugs that can directly tackle the root of our health problems, not just mask the symptoms. There's a real need for more doctors to delve into the world of orthomolecular medicine. After all, we don't get headaches from a shortage of aspirin, do we?
Way back in 1981, I had a chat with a wonderful doctor named Phyllis Cilento. She encouraged me to dig deeper into this field. Some folks argue that we should solely rely on nutrients and other natural substances when it comes to treating diseases. But let's face it, pharmaceuticals have pulled some seriously ill people back from the brink!
Mother Nature, courtesy of God, has provided us with an array of natural substances and nutrients. It's a truly rewarding job to utilize these gifts to help people. I'm on it every day of the week, for 15 hours a day.
Looking forward to catching up soon.
Stay blessed,
James.

Your questions are not completely clear but will tell you what I can. I am an 80 year old orthopaedic surgeon. I became interested in this career during my first year in college, when I needed an operation on my knee. The surgeon who did it spent a lot of time with me answering my questions. I had been interested in tools since I was young, but I also had been raised in a family that emphasized being good to others. Orthopaedic surgery filled both of my desires. As I went through my education and training I learned that doing the surgery was the easy part. The more difficult and more important part was establishing a good personal relationship with the people I was taking care of. Very often they were quite frightened about needing surgery and needed a lot of education and reassurance. Over time it came to seem as if doing the operation was a reward for helping the patient understand the nature of both the problem and the solution. I had always been good with tools, so the actual surgery was both easy and rewarding for me but helping people learn, understand, and cooperate became the most satisfying part.
Practicing medicine or surgery is both demanding and rewarding. You have to put the interest of your patient first. The actual hours you work will depend on what specialty you choose to work in. Surgery requires taking turns being on call, which means you will be available if needed on nights and weekends.
A good way to find out what it’s like is to volunteer in a hospital where you can see doctors at work and get to know a few so you can ask questions. If you have a family doctor who knows you you might ask if you could shadow them for a few days when you next have a vacation. You should understand that practicing medicine is difficult and demanding, but also tremendously satisfying. You will feel good about the work you do and you will be well paid and respected for doing it.
