He never said it was. He did imply it was a very important position, and frankly, for society, a more important position than neurosurgeon

Is it possible she reached the point where she had some dude's spine busted apart like an alternator and thought, "this really isn't for me?"
What do you do if you reach that point and realize you're about to become the next Christopher Duntsch?

So you mean to tell me that the divorced mom of 3 that lives off her ex’s alimony/child support and sells MLM crap on fb and posts memes all day....has a more important position in society than a neurosurgeon?

No, but the mother of 3 that stays with her husband and raises her children with love and care is more important to societal vigor than a neurosurgeon.

Position? Yes
Is the mother you hypothetically made up doing a good/decent/passable job? Probably not

I would be pissed if i were the husband.
There is no way with that sort of financial potential would i be ok with her staying home.

What about that debt he now shares with her, that she cannot help pay back?

College plus med school plus residency plus fellowship 15 years.
She practiced for 1 year and quit to be a stay at home mom.
Bet she has a shite ton of student loan debt that she complains about having to pay back and thinks she should have her debt forgiven.

With hospital costs the way they are she could always do some back alley/kitchen table brain surgeries.

My wife is a surgeon and tried to pull that shite after our first kid was born. Nope, nope, nope.

I dated a girl during two years of her Med school. She hated it. Never wanted to practice medicine. But her father and her two older brothers were all doctors. And they treated her like dirt her whole life because she was the little sister. Like, her mom would make her do her brother's laundry, because "he was studying to get into medical school" .
So she went to med school simply to prove to them that she could do it. We broke up. She married a guy in her class. Got her MD and her MRS degree on the same day. Had three kids and never practiced medicine a day in her life.
One of the most bizarre mixes of success and dysfunction of all time. That family. Smh.

You rarely saw Dr. Evil actually practice medicine, but he could still give Mini Me and Scott basic primary care, which is handy.

She took someone else’s spot in Med school to deal with her Daddy issues. Smh.

Not a mom....but not because I don’t want to be
This might come across offensive, but I don't intend it to be. Maybe you'll change your tune if/when you ever become a mom. You wouldn't be the first to look at things through a different lens.
There is nothing wrong in my opinion deciding to work and be parents. I think a lot of people do it for a lot of reasons.
But, I can't understand at all a mother or father being unable to even comprehend how staying home could be a negative thing...or considered selfish. To me, it shows a basic non-understanding of what good parents are. If you are very strong in that opinion, and really don't think it's just a product of you not yet being a parent, then I'd question whether you are cut out to be a good mother.

In general it isnt
You could argue that in this case it is. She took a competitive residency and fellowship spot from somebody who may have practiced for 30 years.
She got married during residency, youd think by the end of that she would have decided it wasnt what she wanted to do with her life but then she tacked on a 2 year fellowship, makes no sense
