Hi there,

Yes ,surgeons get day off in week by hospital. According to rules a surgeon has to work over 40+ hours in a week. Surgeons are not not forced to work more than that. It is very important for Surgeons to take leave. But surgeons might be required to present at calls on weekends, holidays, in late night. While if there is emergency surgeons are required to work for more than 12 hours in a day. Usually a surgeon is required to work from 9:am to 6:pm.

Good luck!
