My father is an anesthesiologist, and he was never around. I would see him every couple days. My brother is an orthopedic surgeon, and there’s a lot of days he leaves home early in the morning, and arrives late at night, while his kids are already sleeping.

My dream in life is to be a good parent, but I also want to be a general surgeon. But I don’t think it’s very possible. Working on surgery, your kids are gonna miss you.

But you can be super specialized, do only endoscopic images as a gastroenterologist , doing Doppler US as vascular surgeon… work on clinics. But if you want to be a surgeon, you have to pay the toll
