Half of retired surgeons wish they had done some things differently during their career, including spending more time with their families and taking better care of themselves, a survey reveals.

Questionnaires were sent to more than 5200 retired general, colorectal, vascular and cardiothoracic surgeons, who were fellows of the American College of Surgeons, to try to learn from their reflections on their lives and careers.
