Dr. Sinnott's comments are predictable, given his employment situation (director, academic, infectious disease). Would you expect him to reply differently? What studentdoctor should do is contrast his views with those of an ID doc in private practice who has little interest in academic medicine and for whom family life (and leisure) are priorities. That should balance things out somewhat. This is a dangerously unbalanced view of ID. Dr. Sinnott’s comments are predictable, given his employment situation (director, academic, infectious disease).

Individuals are free to choose their own priorities in life." I couldn't agree more. Who are we to judge? I have heard it this way, medicine is a jealous mistress. True happiness comes from self respect, and that is happiness he brings home every day to his family, whatever that looks like. “What simplistic views I’m reading!

Having a successful career is essential to putting family first because it fulfills your responsibility to support your family. I agree that being passionate about your work is very important but it is still not the end result. The greatest good that can be done for society is for someone to work hard in their careers and then invest what they earn in our country's most important and appreciable asset: Children. Obviously someone invested in you. I wouldn't call it "narrow minded" to suggest that you do the same for someone else. Also, nuns and priests are exempt from this discussion because they do not have children that they may be neglecting. They, like many others, can be amazing contributors to the "fabric" of society.

I'm discomforted by your narrow view of 'family.' By your logic, priests and nuns would be unweaving the fabric that binds us together. People who are passionate about their work are just as important to society as those who prioritize family life. Unless you live in a fantasy world, where goods and services provide themselves.
