[quote=Anonymous]Speaking as a 33 year old whose husband is in 4th year med school (also 33), if you want to be a surgeon, you will have a very long, hard road in front of you and your family. We have a baby and my husband specifically has stayed away from surgery because the residency is so brutal he would barely get to see our kid. You can definitely do med school but if you need to take all the prereqs, that will add on another year or two (some of it is timing). It will be a long road but there are people who have done it. I would see if you could shadow different people to get a feel for what their day is like. Nurses are really different from Surgeons (who, in general, do not spend tons of time interacting with patients and can be pretty type A). [/quote]
