I can't believe after four years of med school, nearly three years of residency (just three more months) that I'm just now finding this site!! Boy the number of times I've could have used this place over the years.
I guess the quickest way to introduce myself is a short bio.
My name is Amy and my husband's name is David. He's a third year internal medicine resident who just signed on to be a hospitalist this coming July. We have been married nearly five years but together for 13..so way before all this medical stuff, ha,ha. I knew him when he just said, "Someday I"m gonna be a doctor."
I'm 30 and he's 29. We have a 13 month old baby girl named Sarah. I worked in journalism for more than 10 years until I had her. Now I'm a SAHM/business manager and personal secretary for my husband (being saracastic here...though I am,ha,ha).
As I said before, my hubby just signed, literally a few days ago, his first contract to be a hospitalist. We have been in Memphis,TN for med training and now will be moving back to where we grew up for him to work. It's a very stressful time for us right now trying to get moved etc. In fact today we found out that he can't qualify for one of those great doc mortgage loans you're always hearing about because he doesn't have a long credit history. I was shocked and very upset because we've worked very hard to have basically no debt..including student loans. Yup, he's loan free from med school. But because he's paid cash and not taken out credit cards etc. himself during all his training and I'm not working now and can't have my credit history considered, the two banks we've talked to so far wouldn't give him a no down payment loan. But I digress, that's just my gripe for today.
I'm really glad to have found this site because as we all can attest to being the spouse of a doctor is very difficult to say the least sometimes. I've had it pretty rough all this time with no family nearby or close friends. Many, many nights, days, weeks alone. And now with raising a toddler and a husband who is too worn out most days to help out or who is gone...well you guys know. I'm looking forward to getting to here other spouses stories and maybe get some moral support as we go down yet another stressful road in him becoming a doctor.
