ER docs (are not IM, but specific different residency in emergency med) work 8 to 12 hour shifts and are then off. It is the least "grueling" of all fields as when you are off, you are off. It also has one of the highest malpractice rates as you have to be jack of all trades. Most love it as you see everything.

Are you really a physician? ER as the least grueling? ER has one of the highest burnout rates in medicine.
You want least grueling? Try derm, allergy, rheum, outpatient psych, radiation oncology, pathology, outpatient PM&R, etc...
ER is certainly less rigorous than neurosurgery but it certainly isn't the "least grueling" of all fields.
