Would you raise your children like your parents raised you?

Hell fucking no. I was raised with no rules, guidance, or discipline. I am very lucky that I preferred reading over everything and bitched when I couldn’t do so.

Thankfully they’ve grown up very well and I’m extremely proud of them.

My parents drank, smoked, and my father abused ma while she hit back, so they preferred to do that and treated me like a roommate.

What was the most challenging shift you experienced as an ER physician? Can you describe the details and reasons behind it?

I still struggle nowadays because I want to make sure my kids are safe and healthy, and I tend to overreact because I don’t want my kids growing up like I did.
