[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I posted before that my sister and brother in law are physicians and reading these responses I don’t think many people responding have a lot of experience with close family members in this field. It really is kind of a different arena. I’m not saying it’s right, or how it should be, and my sister and brother in law have an infant and are managing two residency’s while doing it, BUT there is kind of an equalizing factor there in that they both are in residency so one can’t really take on more than the other, realistically grandparents are helping a lot during this time because the control they have over their schedules is almost nil. Anyway this is all to say, I could totally understand why if one is a physician and the other not, why it would be incredibly difficult to be the one managing a career while still having to pick up more. It’s not like normal jobs or like he can just “set boundaries” - [b]if he’s the surgeon on call and an emergency comes in he has to go in. If his last case/surgery of the day lasts longer than expected because there is a complication (they find more tumor than expected after opening, etc etc), he can’t just say “I have daycare pickup and have to scrub out.” [/b]It just isn’t how it works. Should we be changing how the system works for drs? After watching my family members I would be in full support. But that’s not likely to happen soon. [/quote]

How, specifically, would you change the bolded?  [/quote]
