@nytimes this article is misleading. While work-life balance of medicine has improved, it has for most professions. The life of a MD/DO is not “family-friendly.”

As a 🚺 MD, I continued working after having kids bc bring a physician is a calling & I had sacrificed too much in my life to ever give it up.

Additionally this article does nothing to address the gender bias in medicine that has 🚺 working less hours, being paid less, being promoted less, & doing more domestic work.
And why does it not discuss the benefits of “family-friendly” for 🚹?

The title made me excited to read this article but so I was disappointed & discouraged.

I love being an anesthesiologist even though it is only 37% female. I am in academics & bc of the support of my dept, I have been given leadership & career development opportunities despite having young children & being married to another MD.

And I know I’m a great mom too. I set a good example for my kids of a strong professional woman who works full-time. And I’m there for them when it is important. #supermom
