In his fatherâs prime, Brent said, the primary care physician worked at least 65 to 70 hours a week. Over the past three years, Inabnit finally cut back, but even in his mid-70s he kept seeing patients at his office at South Bend Clinic and making rounds to see patients at several nursing homes where he served as chief doctor.
âFor him, cutting back significantly, at a minimum, is 30 hours a week, sometimes 40,â Brent said. âBeing a doctor for him was not a job, it wasnât five days a week, it was 24/7. It was in his blood.â
