Does anyone know any female docs who are practising and have a family? What do their husbands do? I'm sure there are plenty out there, I just need to hear some success stories for my own peace of mind.
Not really a success story here, but my former employer (a urologist) was the chief of the department, and her husband (a former family practice physician turned fulltime writer) was a stay at home dad. That arrangement worked very well for them. Sadly, she recently quit her position and told me she is no longer practicing medicine. She had also discouraged me from going into medicine.
I also know a family practice doc who is the head of the community health dept at the hosptial and teaches part-time. She abosolutely loves what she does, although she says she doesn't make a lot of money. She is actually divorced though.
