A classmate of mine called me today and wanted to know if i'd turned in my take home exam. At least that's how the conversation started but we all know the toad doesn't come out in the daytime for nothing. I spent 9+ minutes on the fon with him. Few things that came up was he wanted me to suggest books i thought were good in prepping for the beast. I think he was more interested in talking than listening. I think the book suggestion was an conversation starter because what he really wanted was a study partner, he thought i might be taking it this summer and wanted me to notify him if decided to study for it. Too bad i have my own plan worked out.
So i asked about Queen. His response was "Queen is getting big. I think She's going to have triplets." I really have to see that to believe because last time i saw her, i told her i don't believe she's pregnant which happend to be two weeks ago. What he did mention is that he thinks she's doing well because she has support from her husband. And he went on to say that the reason why there are more women in pharm and med school is because they have support. Really?! I thought guys were the advantaged ones here - that the fact that they weren't the ones giving birth, had wives to support and care for their kids made them the better ones. I guess as a female, i'm likely to see guys as having the support wheareas some guys might see women as the ones having the support.
What i've realized is that anyone, male or female, can have the support. All you need is a non-SOB who is willing to support you. So yes, i see residents with wives and families who focus on residency whereas someone sees a med student who gives birth 2x while in school and doesn't have to bother because she has a husband who just says "you give birth, i'll take care of the baby". Male or female, we can both be advantaged.
