  • The Match

    ByAnn Marie

    While walking for what seemed ages, I was occasionally startled by the sporadic whoops and cheers that reverberated from the walls, as another satisfied customer learned of their joyous fate. Each time a cheer was released, I couldn’t stop myself from hoping and praying that God’s plan for us was the same as ours; that we would be among those cheering in response to our news. In response to what we saw in my husband’s envelope. In “our” envelope. It was Match Day.

    Residency: The Good, the Bad, & The Ugly. The Spouse Perspective (Part 1)

    ByAnn Marie

    Residency is filled with overwhelming value, but is, no doubt, an exceptionally difficult time for the spouse in training and their family. There’s no getting around or sugar-coating that fact. While you are in the thick of it, it can seem dark. Lonely. Confusing. Even hopeless, on the worst days. We will be discussing the good, the bad, and the ugly of residency. But today is just the bad and the ugly. Hold on tight and (you probably won’t) enjoy this ride. #residency #truth #marriedtomedicine
