Hello!
I'm so happy to have found this sight. I want to introduce myself & don't know where to start...My name is Tara and my husband is an intern in pediatrics here in Denver (where the "big dig" has begun to get our car out of our garage after the big snowstorm). After reading many of your posts, I'm glad to find out that my husband isn't the only one frustrated with medicine. In fact, he's switching from Peds to Radiology this July. Fortunately we didn't have to go through the match again. The University of Colorado radiology program added on two new spots in their program & we were lucky enough to get one of them. So we're embarking on yet another adventure... By the way, I hope the match went well for all today.
I also would like to ask the advice of anyone who has bought a house using a special physician loan. We recently entered into a contract to buy a house & I'm trying to line up financing. It seems that most of these programs do the 80/20 thing, where you get two loans (one for 80% of the price of the house, one for 20%) so you can avoid private mortgage insurance. If anyone out there has any advice on the best programs out there, I'd love to here it.
By the way, I forgot to mention that we have two kids (4 & 2), both born during medical school in Connecticut. They are pretty used to not seeing their dad very much. In fact, my 4-year-old often asks his dad (when he's actually home) why he isn't sleeping, or tells his friend that his dad "sleeps alot." Sound familiar?
Can't wait to get to know you all better....
