Not saying that surgeons can't have families, and I'm an almost-M4 just like you, but this statement makes me think that you should stay away from the specialty.

Let's face it. Surgery is not known for easily providing ample time to "enjoy your life" outside the operating room.

There's no way I would try to match into surgery, though, so that's just my two cents.
