We are halfway through our list of medical specialties with the best quality of life, and up next we have ophthalmologists. They usually have weekends off unless there’s an emergency. According to the Medscape survey, they are extremely happy outside the work. Also, they are at the top of the list of happiest physicians at work with 37% of them claiming that. Ophthalmologists practice an interesting combination of medicine and surgery, and the best part is that they’re not seeing death too often.
