title: Family matters.
abstract: There are many more 'family matters' issues worthy of reflection, but the examples represent some of the more common personal dilemmas facing medical practitioners, and in particular women doctors, based on both my own experience and conversations with colleagues. There are no simple or universally appropriate answers to any of the scenarios; I have not attempted to suggest solutions to any of the issues raised, but hope that some situations outlined will evoke empathy and promote thought, discussion or debate about ways that individual doctors could deal with such matters.
