Among 7,905 responding surgeons, 90 percent had a domestic partner. Half of those domestic partners did not work outside the home, 16.4 percent were physicians and 34.9 percent were working non-physicians. Physicians in dual-physician relationships more often experienced a recent career conflict with their partner or a work-home conflict than physicians whose partners were working non-physicians.
