Marriage and Medicine
The_Scientist:
Hey Everyone,
How's everyone doing? First of all let me start of by saying that this site is awesome...I'm a long time leaker first time poster....
Since there are a lot of people on here that are in medical school, I thought I could ask your opinion on a dilemma I'm having.
I live in North American and to get into med school there you need to do an undergraduate degree and write an enterance exam. I took a year off of school and did a little travel before applying to med school. During that year I met my fiancée. Before I met her I had not intended on getting married until atleast I was finished school but what can I say I fall head over heels for her, and proposed :D...but her parents don't think I can do both medical and marriage...I know that financial things will be tight and she understands that, but it would only be for four years. I was wondering if some one in medical school now could give me some advice. Do you think our parents are right? Can I manage both?
Waxbaro!:
Married partners can support each other through this. Or they can end up fighting all the time. You have to decide for yourself what you think is likely. But be very conscious about it - discuss and write down your agreements beforehand. Don't assume that "We love each other." will get you through anything...
Marriage can affect your attendance & performance negatively or positively.
Dr.keyf:
Hello scientist,i agree wid waxbaro.also my opinion is tht her parents r wrong.u can do both.it all depends on u.marriage is never an easy task,afterall ure livin n learnin each other on a daily basis.wat u both need in ur relationship is understandin n support.tht wil get u through anythin.medicine is an emotionally drainin experience,i think its fantastic tht u hv sumone who comforts u when da goin gets tough.as for money,u shudnt b worried abt tht.money can be tight whether ure doin medicine or not.she can work while u complete ur studies n later u can take over.bt be careful abt babies,they change everythin.it gets 10 times harder if u get a child.goodluck
