How Many Hours A Week Do Doctors Work At A Hospital?

This is after they have completed their residency and are working at a hospital or private practice that they do not own. How many hours a week do they work and do they have leeway in setting how many hours they work? Can they only work part time if they want to and if not, how long does it take before they can work whatever hours they want?
Thanks

Of course there is a wide range of variability to this answer. Surgeons in general work longer hours because they not only have to attend to the office but also to surgery. Some doctors like ER docs work shifts so they work the same amount each week. Once you are in private practice you can work as hard and long as you wish but I would guess that most doctors work 40-50hours/week. I am a heart surgeon and I work on average 60 hours/week. I have worked 120 hrs in a week but never less than 50.
