I have been thinking a lot about the @nytimes piece on #womeninmedicine . On the surface that article could have been written about me. Friends &family have said I have the ultimate work/life balance, but they don't understand the guilt & frustration that came with it (thread) @nytimes 2/I was (am) that super smart, self motivated, high achieving person who became a doctor. 1st choice college, med school, residency (EM), & fellowship (Tox). And now I only work per diem in the ED- not a bad thing, but not where I thought I'd be. How did it happen?
