People say that it is difficult to spend quality time with your family as a physician and can only be done through specific careers in health. But I was told that if there's something that you really want to do and you're determined about it, then you'll find a way to make it happen. Like doctors can say, "I want to spend more time with my family, I don't care if I'm not getting paid for the hours I'm gone" or "I'm going under so much stress right now, I'm taking off for the day." The only thing that limits what you can do is yourself. All the uncertainties, stress, and competition in medicine are insignificant as long as you believe in yourself.
I want a career that allows me to spend quality time with my family and the people I care about, to be able to financially support my family for any financial demands they may have, be it a higher standard of living or paying for emergency bills or such, and to be able to grow and develop as a person, continuing to learn more and apply everything I learned in school. With that said, I ask of all of the pre-med, medical students, doctors, and physicians out there: is this true? Can you really assert what you want to do and the lifestyle you want to live just like that, especially as a physician in this day and age?
