That is one busy ER doc. “Besides being a mom to eight children and serving as president of the Harris County Medical Society, Fite works 76 hours per week in two full-time jobs as an emergency physician at Christus St. Catherine Hospital in Katy and Methodist Willowbrook Hospital.

She also works part-time as an attending physician with the emergency residency program at Memorial Hermann Hospital and serves as the medical director for several area emergency medical services.

Fite has been so active in extracurricular activities that she switched to working nights a few years ago so she could attend meetings in Houston and Austin. The schedule also gives her more time to spend with her children, whom she has raised with the help of her stay-at-home husband, Ronald Patton, and her mother-in-law.”
