In the beginning of her week, she faced the normal day-to-day: Admitting patients, making sure they had their medications, reviewing their labs. And, when they got to feeling better, she helped them leave the hospital. Typical days pushed 12 hours. A typical week could top 60.

It is that time of year again, when the U.S. News & World Report comes out with its annual list of the best jobs in the country, and once again, Physician Assistant and Physical Therapist are at the top of the list.

Here at the CHS News Desk, we thought it might be fun to run down the stories that received the most clicks and views from 2022. As we reviewed them, we saw exactly why they garnered so much attention. Some made us laugh and cry. Some inspired. Some were just important and informed us.
