If you missed the last segment, me and I talked about whether or not the 80-hour work week is realistic for people in residency who are then transitioning into attendinghood.

If you miss that segment, go back and take a listen.

And right now, we are going to be talking about motherhood and loophums.

Dr. Neen, what say you? What's going on? All right, Dr. Renee, so we got a

question from Instagram. This is a question from someone who's been following our podcast

for a significant period of time. So let's jump right into this. It says, hey, do both you and your wife do locoms? Because I'm

considering a travel position slash locum, but I'm having mom guilt and I'm not sure how other

women do it. I've read articles and I know there's plenty of moms who do it, but just wondering

if you have any feedback.

Would appreciate hearing about your experience.

I know I've heard a lot from your perspective, but wondering about it from mom's perspective,

how she may do it.

I think they're referring to you.

So we got this question while we're in Ghana.

I told them we were going to answer it, but we ain't recording Ghana, so we ain't answer it. You like to hear it, here it go. Boom. So you go ahead and answer it. Do we do locums? How do you do locus? Yes. And do you have to give gilts? No, I do not have mommy guilt. So I've been doing locums for quite some time, exclusively locums, as of the time, what?

That was 2016.

So I was pregnant at the time when we started doing locums exclusively.

And, yeah, I mean, I guess I would need a little bit more information so that I could give you a little more advice tailored to whatever your situation is.

For me, I am a mom, but I'm also married.

So, you know, there is that dynamic, which I think makes a difference. So doing locums,

I'm able to stay home for the most part. And then I work one weekend a month. That's just how I decide to do it. You can do it however you want. And then my husband, he works more days than I do in the month, but that's the way that

we do it. We switch off. So if I'm working, he's not working. If he's working, then I'm not working.
