[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Don't do it OP!!!  Live a normal life where you can see your kids. 
Dentist, PA, PharmD, NP - all worthy fields where you can help people and have a good lifestyle without the liability and stress.

I don't recommend it, ESPECIALLY if you want to do surgery ( only one female surgeon got to her 5th year in residency without getting divorced in 3 consecutive classes where I went to medschool - it's a strain not many marriages can take).

But if you are truly passionate and your career is first and your personal life second, then go for it. I see those crazy surgeons who are in the hospital for 110 hours a week and actually like it- rare breed but they exist.[/quote]

:thumbup:

My husband is a surgeon and he routinely works twelve hour days with surgery, patient consults, and medical record keeping (electronic).   And he isn't one of the crazy ones.  That's what you do as a surgeon.   And, it isn't wise to go part-time as a surgeon simply because you need to keep your skills up.  I agree..do something that is more family friendly and enjoy your children.  By the way, I work too..in gov't.  One of us has to be there for our daughter and it's me because he is working so many hours.[/quote]
