What is life like as a 68C?

I am trying to understand what life is like as a 68C. I'm a Prior Service MP looking to get back in and trying to see if any of the medical MOS would be a good fit. As I understand it, you are normally assigned to a hospital/MTF or assigned to a CSH. I would assume that the hospital/MTF is just shift work. What about the CSH side? Is it just screwing around in the motorpool or what?

Yup you guessed correct about the CSH side!

CSH life = PT, motorpool Mondays, cage most of the other time reorganizing and then depending on the unit, EDRE’s and CSH/FST setups.

Clinic/Hospital is pt on your own (well, used to be, now dependent on your section), shift work with little variations. Throw in a sprinkling of battalion taskers that make you feel like a soldier every couple of months and otherwise enjoy nearly normal life on the Ward.
