"I’m a child and adolescent psychiatrist. I’ve raised five children who were very active. But they were also very helpful. I balanced by being close to the hospital and by being close to their school. I used to practice down the hill from their school. They would come and have lunch with me and sometimes even clean up my office. My partner has also been very supportive of the things I do. I think that’s essential in medicine. One of things that’s difficult to realize as a medical student, and I don’t know to what degree that’s changed, is that they don’t necessarily say to you what’s the most important part of this. You end up having lots of details in your head that aren't necessarily useful. Which of this anatomy do I really need to know? Are all the layers of the retina really going to be critical for me in the future?”
