Re: Wedding drama
It’s funny because before I was thrown into the whole medical world, I had always heard that the entire profession was sooooo anti-family and anti-marriage and your superiors would judge you if you ever even mentioned wanting to get married/have kids/take family into consideration when it came to your career. After this past year or so I’ve realized that that’s not the case at all --at least not at the institution that I’m not. It’s not an Ivy league school, I’ll give it that, but there’s been plenty of people that have gotten engaged/married/had kids during their 4 years here and the school was fairly understanding. Unfortunately, that “condescending/judgey” image still exists to people outside the field and my parents believe that to be true, as well. My dad has voiced his concern that I won’t ever finish school if I get married, which BAFFLES me because my bf knows and respects my career aspirations (he’s in school with me and sees how hard I work…) and I feel like if he didn’t want to be with a girl that wants to be a dr, he wouldn’t be leading me on since he MET ME IN MED SCHOOL.
