[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That’s strange because some articles claim medicine is a family friendly career, for the ability to work part-time. I know women physicians that work just one or two days per week. Of course that assumes they have a partner working full time.[/quote] That's crazy. Medicine is incredibly family-unfriendly because of the strict schedules, which only gets worse if you have to do call. Except in cases where there is a SAHP, every doctor I know with young kids gets a nanny that is able to work long and unpredictable hours. Which obviously gets expensive. Mid-level providers end up in a very difficult middle zone. The hours are still inflexible, but they don't make nearly enough money for a nanny. I really don't understand how those got a reputation for being more family-friendly careers in medicine. In my experience, it is precisely the opposite.[/quote]
