Bluntly, I don&#x27;t care what they do so long as they do their job, and frankly, their personal lives are none of my business; they&#x27;re a highly-educated mature adult capable of figuring it out just like their peers in the profession are somehow able to do.  Some do a childcare service, some have nannies or babysitters, some have a stay-at-home partner…  Surgeries run long all the time due to unforeseen complications, and I find it difficult to believe that this anesthesiologist didn&#x27;t have a backup plan for those occasions.  They may not have wanted to use it, and that is what I object to.<p>One of my parents is a physician and I didn&#x27;t get to see them much when I was growing up (or even now); I intimately understand the point of view of those advocating for greater work-life balance in medicine.  What I find lacking in the push for greater work-life balance is an acknowledgment that quality of care may be changing for the worse as a result.
