I’m married to an anesthesiologist. It is a good job, but it is neither predictable nor flexible. |
Daughter of anesthesiologist. Totally agree. My dad worked for a university hospital - so it was particularly crazy. I would say that maybe an anesthesiologist in private practice would have more stability/predictability depending on the surgical practice they were paired with - but in my experience - every time I’ve been for one of those simple, outpatient surgeries - it’s been a CRNA and not an MD doing the anesthesia. |

Yup but when a mediocre actress marries a spare prince, things don't go very well. You have to make a living by generating juicy gossip for memoir writers, Netflix directors, Oprah Club, charity organizers and Spotify producers. |
Female physicians have a lousy TFR, partially because they graduate medical school after many years with massive debt and are years away from even break-even during residency. So they're working a lot of hours or tapping into their husband's salary to pay the college loans. The children she births will be high-quality, but there won't be many of them. NP/PA are not quite as filtered, but there's less stress on the family. |
| Mary in There's Something About Mary was an orthopedic surgeon I believe. |
| All y'all saying finance are in for a rude awakening. Lots of overwork and heavy drinking. |
Depends on the type…. Plastics is a major surgical field and it’s not just cosmetics. Think burn patients, major facial injuries and lacerations etc |
| Idle rich. |
I picked the wrong profession. I love overwork and heavy drinking. |
Lol. Journalism also has those, but for much much less pay. |
I often wonder what people mean when they say that a job as a physician is “flexible.” |
Too many people conflate "flexible" and "variable." My job has a variable rhythm (communications/PR) -- there are dead weeks and even occasional dead months, but when it's all hands on deck, it's ALL hands, and I don't get to pick when that happens. |
