My wife was a surgery resident when we had our first child. It was tough with her working 30 hour on-call shifts. Plus the normal 80+ hour (sometimes it would be as much as 130) work weeks. She eventually decided that instead of killing herself for a job she would stop being a doctor and focus on the kids. This worked out for us but it took some guts to call it quits after 10 years of training to get where she was at. We have a ton of debt because of it as well.

Besides the tough work schedules I find it kind of crazy we require 20-something year olds to choose a speciality and stick with it. Very few people can do this and not have some regrets. On top of the insane work hours they also put up with people dying on them and delivering the bad news to family members (at least for surgeons this happens a decent amount).
