Well, I dont know if anyone will respond to this because it looks like this forum is not no active, but I will post anyway
Are there any wives that have been through the whole caribbean med. school experience w/your husband and he is now practicing? Or husbands that have a wife practicing?
My sweet, loving, and adorable husband is about halfway through his 3rd year(core rotations) and we have literally moved EIGHT TIMES in the three years we have been married and he has been in school.
He is always stressed out during clinicals working 100hr weeks and we move so much (so he can have all ACGME rotations) that I cant get any steady jobs or get to know people for very long. Loan money runs out fast too.
I feel like I am just holding on to sanity by a thread. I am patient and supportive and do not complain to him because I know he cannot help it.
I was just wondering how it is after core clinicals? For carribean students, will we be able to be in one place at least for electives? And what about making the match and then on to residency? what is all of it like from a spouse's point of view? We have not started a family yet, so it makes it easier, but when will the gypsy life stop?
Thanks!
