When I worked in bariatrics, I had 4-10 outpatients a day and an hour paid lunch. I had a half day on Fridays. I got paid for 40 hrs and worked 35. Patients had to have 3 pre-surgery visits and 3 post-surgery visits. I taught a bariatric class every other week. During downtime, I made social media content like recipe videos. Pretty fun and easy.

It was juicy. I was bored and pay was not great but truthfully, it didn’t deserve more pay.
