[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m reminded of when we lived in Scarsdale, where dual high-income families were commonplace.  I was eavesdropping on some high school boys having lunch in a local deli.  They were talking about another boy, and how his mom is a doctor who works overnights at a hospital so he never sees her.  And they all had such genuine sadness for him over that fact.  I just have to wonder what’s the point of having such a big job that you don’t ever see your kids.  [/quote]

High school kids are all drama queens.  I bet his mom doesn’t work every night, maybe something like 4/3 or even 3/4.   And she probably chose this schedule because she can spend more time with her kids on her days off and in the afternoons before she goes to work.  [/quote]

Whatever you need to tell yourself to feel better.  :roll:  [/quote]

I think it’s weird that you want to make a doctor feel guilty about taking care of sick people.  I hope you remain healthy!  [/quote]

If your child is sad about not seeing you enough, then yes, taking a step back, no matter what your profession, is probably a good idea. Or don’t have kids. It’s not a necessity. Just devote your life to your patients.[/quote]

I wish more people were like you.  So many people just expect the emergency room to be staffed on weekends, holidays, and overnights.  It’s crazy.
