Post-Doctoral Family

I finished pediatrics residency the day I had our first of three children. Pediatrics training was the hardest thing I'd ever done, but parenthood has trumped it; challenging, heart-wrenching, joy-filled, triumphant, exhausting, pushing-to-the-limit. Being a doctor-parent is helpful, sometimes, and treacherous others. Fortunately I learned through example during residency that the doctor-parent can under or over-react to the detriment of their kids...

I am tremendously grateful to be able to work part time. I consider myself mostly mommy and sometimes pediatrician, but I suppose these are roles that never leave me.
