Hi. I am a little worry still of who can read this so I would like to be call Mrs. M. I am from Mexico and I will be celebrating 8 years living in the US. My husband is a general surgeon, with a burn surgery fellowship and working towards 3 years of plastic surgery. We have 2 and a half more years in this last residency to go. We met when he was in his 2nd year in medical school. I was finishing college in Mexico so it worked out to be together but separated. After I graduated I moved to the US to learn how to live here. After he graduated from MS we got married.
It was very hard to go from being someone that has a very close family to a GS resident husband. I did Ok pretty much all thru general surgery until we had our first daugther. Then I started feeling like a single parent. I had in my mind I wanted to have another baby 2 years later and we did. But now, I am sick of the fact that I am still feeling like a single parent and I still have no chance of getting him involved the next 2 and half years.
I was so desperate thinking that I was the only one hating to be the doctor's wife. And thanks to google I realized that I am not alone and just reading some of the blogs make me feel very good. I have not read yet a message where the husband is a PGY7, maybe it is because it is a long time for some one to stay in residency. One thing I am very sure of I AM TIRED OF BEING IN RESIDENCY!!!!! I am starting to hate the health system in general, anyway maybe one day this will change.
Thank you guys for starting this website and I can't wait to start making friends!
