The primary relationship that exists when one of the people is in medicine is a unique thing. My husband was attracted because of my profession. He gave me a balance I desperately needed. He already understood the hours the missed holidays and the sacrifices. I see love in ur eyes Rachel and am very happy for u. To find that right person is tough but to find them when u have a career in medicine is rare. All my best. Balance will keep u both grounded and can bring u a long and joyful life.

I like this guy. He seems pure and this video helps me. Post breakup after my ex left me for “studying too much”. Im undergrad at UCSD. Trying to pursue a career in medicine. It takes time. I wish my ex girlfriend had the same level of understanding as this guy does for your career path. It really makes a difference when you have a supportive partner.

I can't even imagine how tough it is to be in a relationship when you're studying and doing medicine. So much sacrifice. The fact that you two were able to navigate those tough waters is impressive. It takes a specific person to be patient with anyone doing an intense field like medicine.

@sandy72257 ай бұрын
This was so helpful and true in every way especially as I am in medicine who is dating someone not in medicine. Yes, they are not going to understand what I’m going through (that’s what other medicine friends are for) but my partner brings me so much stability and the opposite of the chaos I deal with at work, which is honestly so much better than coming home and having to relive the trauma by talking about it. It was a long journey for me to accept that I am allowed to (and should) have a life outside of medicine that is completely opposite of who I am at work and that doesn’t mean I like medicine any less ❤

Hi there. Great video! Such a hard concept to explain to the general population but i think yall did great. Dual physician/resident household here (family and surgery) and long distance. We pride ourselves on our communication and always assuming the best intentions in all our actions. So if we can't talk one day because we are on call or can't give the attention to each other person they probably deserve , it's always understanding. It's hard to explain how much that means while you are getting destroyed in residency. Also , I mostly wanted to comment because there is someone impersonating your Facebook profile with your picture and posting on physician groups trying to pitch crypto scams. Just keep an eye out.

Perhaps Patrick should consider focusing on trying different ways to help you purge stress and relax physically and mentally especially before bedtime. If blowing off steam, lighting changes, or whatever aren't doing this, try more things. Feeling exhausted in the morning is a sign the body didn't sleep properly. It didn't spend enough time in each stage or spent too much time dreaming. I realize this is a difficult challenge for resident physicians. Suggest you and your coworkers verbally correct each other's posture. Our weight should be borne entirely by bone. If shifted to muscles, they become tired and tight unnecessarily expending extra energy that can be conserved or used elsewhere.
