Dermatology might do the trick. They get to do some limited surgery, work good hours and make above average salaries.
Stress, per se, comes from the individual, not from the job. I know quite a few really stressed out folks (they might say it's from their job) in pretty laid back jobs; the reverse is true as well.
Any type of medical job nowadays will not let you work 9-5 and have weekends off. Making 10 different posts on this subject will not change the answer. If you want hours like that become a medical researcher, not a doctor.
Once again I say proof. The levels of radiation are extremely low level. Also radiologists usually only look at the films, sometimes they actually do them. Xray techs actually do them. Plus you stand outside of the room when it is being done as not to get radiation into you.

First off, he never said anything about risks!
Secondly, you are just as prone to health risks as a doctor (bodily fluids, etc.).
Thirdly, the chances, if you use correct universal precautions, you won't have these problems. (There is some chance, as you probably are going to try to prove, but the reality, it is VERY VERY low. I'm going to say like less than 1%-2%.)
Fourthly, you will have risks at any job...get over it!
I'm not an idiot guys, I go to a medical magnet school, and we're lectured about this all the time!
1-2% higher risk than the average person is not good. remember that radiation accumalates in the body after a long period. so if you work there for like 30 years, you're in danger.

High risk of outsourcing.
