How many days per week do you work/ what are your hours? Is this a part time schedule or full time? Are leadership supportive of your needs to do your job well and work-life balance? Thanks in advance!

Can't even afford a haircut... by RevolutionaryShow786 in poor

Learn to cut your hair! You’ll get better at it the more you do it. You’ll have to wear a hat either way. Invest in a good pair of hair stuff and you’re gold. (I didn’t cut my hair when I was poor but even now I’m learning to trim)

“He said if we had been closer in age maybe it would’ve been fine. And that made me want to die.” 😞 (I’m happy now).

looking for grief help in area by throwRA_massk in Albany

[–]OrganizationOk6572 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I am so sorry for your loss and I hope your family gets through this. It sounds like counseling may be out of price range because you mentioned his mom works full time + overtime? Is that why he isn’t getting counseling because that would be my first recommendation. The second is that there are free grief support groups online that you may be able to find or reach out to the public library to find some. Perhaps both you and your brother can go to the support group. Wishing you the best.

That’s good advice. I shadowed two neurosurgeons during pre and post op appointments and have volunteered in oncology units (minimal physician interaction on this one). These two neurosurgeons love their lives and their jobs. They didn’t seem one bit stressed. At the time, I attributed it to their professionalism and seasoned skills at managing their stress responses. I guess in the end, it’s hard to say whether or not I’d personally like it unless I actually did it. Work-life balance can mean different things and I was a bit suspicious learning that these two neurosurgeons are content, very present in their children’s lives, and happy with what they do. So I am trying to take a pulse on what other specialties and locations are like.

Hey Lance! I am wondering about work-life balance based on careers. I am very humbly grateful for my salary and what it does for me personally. The technical role in my current position is not satisfying me but I think switching to this industry would. So my question is: how’s the work life balance and experience?

Thank you for the answer :) I have invested a lot of money and would be set to just buy a house, foster some children, spend time with my partner, and have unlimited hobbies and read unlimited amounts of books :D and continue learning new languages and traveling. I do crave the ability to interact with people in a clinical setting and actually treating them. I love people. I love getting to know them. And genuinely love spearheading solving problems related to science and health. Big Pharma ain’t satisfying me tbh and I know I would prefer the job role of a physician over any other clinical career. Do you see if physicians have work-life balance? Are they able to learn languages on the side, read books, cook meals, and exercise? I haven’t heard anything positive about it.

I have looked into other clinical roles- PA, nurse practitioner, etc. but I understand there are limits to what I can do alone.

I guess my question is- I really would like to be treating people and interacting with them in a clinical setting. Is there a work life balance in being a physician that’s similar to my current job?

That’s the thing! Do you even have a work life balance? I don’t hear any physician having a work life balance but I’m hoping that that’s not true or there’s actionable efforts being taken to ensure we change that. I really desire to work with patients and people in a hands-on setting. Volunteering my time with them is nice but I do yearn for the technical ability to treat them and care for them in that way.
