“Is it possible to have it all?  Can you have a job that you love, helping people and using your brain and hands all at the same time; plus, a family, with a spouse and children, that you are always there for?  Is it possible to have a balance between your work and your family live while working as a medical practitioner?”

He shares his story and discusses his KevinMD article, “Our patients matter, but at what cost to our families?”
