Theres always been a tremendous amount of honor in working in the medical field, but I think we all feel a heightened respect for those doing so now, during the COVID-19 pandemic. We always knew, to some extent, that doctors and nurses do something very similar to firemen, in that they walk into the situation from which everyone else is trying to escape. Nobody hopes to wind up in the hospital. But every day, doctors and nurses go there, intentionally, knowing theyll witness some horrifying things. Theyll also witness some beautiful things, but they know theyre embracing an emotional roller coaster thats beyond comprehensible to those who dont work in this field. And then, there are those quieter heroes who maybe we dont talk about as much: those behind the doctors and nurses. Their loved ones who support them. Their family and friends and romantic partners who give them the strength to keep going. Thats no small task, either. If youre romantically involved with someone in this field, you know what its about. Now, if youre involved with someone currently in medical school, that is its own heaven and hell. Med school is quite a bit like training camp for the military: every day is meant to be like the hardest day on the real job may be, so theyre prepared for when those days come. Here is what to know if youre going to be with someone in medical school.

Youre entering what will feel like the waiting room or lobby of your relationship. Youre not fully in it right now. Its just on the other side of some doors. You can see it and taste it. Its right there. But now, you have to wait. There is no semblance of a normal relationship when youre with someone in medical school.
