Overworked physician mom
[This is a guest post]
“Thanks Philippa. This is the first place I’ve found that describes how I’m feeling. I’m an almost 40, increasingly disillusioned, part time ophthalmologist (about 30 hrs per week) who is married to an extremely overworked nephrologist. I’m also primary caregiver to two beautiful kids(9 & 5). I think I should feel lucky, but usually I just feel anxious and divided. I just want to enjoy my kids and help them whenever they need me, but at the same time I fear I will look back with regret at leaving my career behind after they have flown the nest. I’m really tired of this battle of my heart!”
