Anyways, thanks for sharing. I have stumbled upon this website for the past couple of years a few times, whenever I have googled silly questions like "does life change after residency?" or "are doctors' wives' lives as hard as mine?". I finly decided to post something. <br /><br />I believe you when you day your husband and his family are where they are today thanks to their great efforts and sacrifices along the way. It's almost the same story of most of our physician friends and their families. It's something only we understand. People are quick to say "oh but you're husband's a doctor, you're fixed for life!" They don't stop and think about the real novelty behind the scrubs, the risks doctors face everyday when treating or operating, or just the simple teuth behind that "so-envied-gold-bucket" as they see the carreer of medicine: years of struggle and study; years of research and time away from family and friends; endless hours of exhausting and overwhelming work at a hospital; calls in the middle of the night; missing family trips, weddings, friends anniversaries and births; and endless hours of study to prepare for the boards and research and pressure to publish papers. Those just to name a few. My husband about to graduate from anesthesiology and will start his fellowship right afterwards. I can relate to everysingle one of the posts on this website, except I don't have kids yet. I have read things that reminded me of familiar, past experiences, as well as insight from wives that have gone through it all (medschool, residency and fellowship). Those last posts are the ones I was looking for today as We're so close to the "end" of this phase. We've been thinking about this last year of his career that I don't know what to expect after graduation.
