I work 3 days a week, compressing my day by not taking a lunch hour. I have already cut back somewhat because of my increasing difficulties with my work/life balance, but nothing has gotten much better. I am depressed, and ready to leave medicine. I just don't know where to begin. I have some ideas, but I could use some advice.Dear labm1 I am so sorry that you are feeling so low about practice.

I came across this blog and I was wondering if you could offer me some tips before I make my decision to pursue medicine or not. I'm a senior in college, and originally, I was going to go into computer science, but I have not found my job to be satisfying and I have always had a keen interest in medicine. What are the major reasons physicians become disillusioned? I saw a lot of posts on women trying to balance their family life and work.

I feel really lost and am in a very bad place. I would really love to connect with women doctors who have chosen different paths after medical training.

I too once aspired to be a doctor one day or at least fix the broken medical system; do you think what all these ladies are saying (mostly that the amount of effort involved in having kids and pursuing medicine) is too great applies the same for men? If not, why? It seems like even working 8-5 wouldn't satisfy some of these women, which seems a bit strange.Hi civilneilThank you very much for writing.
