<p>A joke.</p>

<p>Yeah, a tough thing for any career woman, but seems especially tough on doctors. Of course people are starting families at a later and later age these days, and there are some definite advantages to being an older parent. I already told my daughter that she can get married and have kids while at med school/residency and my wife and I will help her take care of them. Now that we have a little experience and are still young enough to handle it. But we’ll see about that.</p>
<p>I do know some women who had kids while at med school/residency without taken time off, but they basically just gave birth and had a close family member (moms usually) take care of the kid. Not the ideal way for sure, but it’s something.</p>
