Lifestyle vs Speciality

[FinalShowtime]

I am certain this has been discussed somewhere on this forum but I cannot find it:

What type of speciality should a physician undertake if he/she wants kids, a wife and be able to spend decent amount of time with them?

Thank you for your answers .

Family med? lol I'd think most others like internal med,surgery, etc..have increased working hours.

What about psychiatry?

The best lifestyle specialties are things like derm, rads, anesthesia, psych and family med.

I've never heard of a physician with a family.

You don't need to prove it.
It is an ignorant comment.
Almost every doctor I have worked with has a family.

As long as you are the one who is right I am happy . I know a few doctors with families and they look happy.

the fact that the comment was sarcastic does not take away from its stupidity.
especially when the OP is asking a serious question and assumes that this forum full of MD-wannabe's is the right place to find honest answers.
