I've decided that I'm missing prime opportunities to give you a look into real life medical student ways, so I'm going to try and post once a week about being a medical student spouse. I can't promise I'll alwasy be that dedicated to it, but most of you ask what it's like to be married to a med student, so I will do my best to portray that to you.
As soon as people find out that Michael is in med school, they do 3 things....
1st: they generally think it's pretty cool and then they start to tell me or him about some symptons they've had lately and want a diagnosis. He's only in his 2nd year people! So funny!
2nd: they ask what's the grossest thing his scene? We proceed to tell them and we know we've gone to far when they are gagging! :)
3rd: they always have to through out some really high statisic of the divorce rate for doctors. Thank you, that really helps us out, really!
I honestly can't say I blame people for sharing their own opinions or perspectives, but a lot of times they don't know us, they don't know our marriage. I just have to realize that they honestly are probably trying to help!

you gotta love people and their opinions sometimes. Over the past 5.5 years of being an Army wife I have def heard my share of stories of failed marriages, the struggles of an Army life even those that ask how many people Mark has killed in Iraq....seriously people:)
The next time someone quotes you a statistic, you should burst into tears and say something like, "Oh! and I thought we were the only ones having problems!" *sniff* If you make a big enough scene, they'll back away slowly and hopefully think twice before imparting wisdom again. :) But while we're at it, I've been having this pain in my shoulder...
