The Medical School is something that takes the time, and of course, I can say that it takes almost all of your time!! The First priority is studying and getting the grades you need and be excellent which has to be your main goal while in medical school.
“I’m sorry” this is one the thing, I find myself telling my girlfriend very often for being late. Even if I hate to say that word ‘’SORRY’’. If you are in a relationship, this is something you should know very well early; if you don’t, I recommend you to learn it. Studying for tests, doing TBLs; Assignments, Attendance, Clerking, Ward Rounds, Assisting in O.R, preparing research papers, searching the new information etc.!!
Dear confrères, if you’re going to start a relationship while you’re in Medical School or you’re already in it i.e.: you’re going to start your Medical School while you’re in Relationship.., your Boyfriend/Girlfriend has to be aware and Understand that the Medical School is your Passion and Dream of all your Life!!! Tell him/her everything of what it means to date a MEDICAL STUDENT!!
The Blessed is the one who has/will have the partner who understands that…if so, you have a special person in your life. This is because it takes a special someone to have that empathy for you and understand your job.
Secundo, the thoughts about things from your partner’s perspective: they have to spend hours away from you while you study. Who knows what is going through their mind? Probably thoughts of missing you. They probably think “I don’t know what my BF/GF is doing right now.” Maybe they even think “Is my soulmate talking with someone else?” and even many other evil thoughts will be all of your Minds!!!! What kind of Dilemma you’ll be within…
When it comes to you, Med Student, It is difficult for you as well. You want to be with him/her and spend quality time investing in your relationship; you really want to date him/her, showing that you truly love her/him. However, this is not always possible. Therefore, it is so hard for both of you, but you both want to be together. So go for it! Do not allow yourself to say “No.” Make yourself ask, “How can we make this work?” for sure you’ll be successful. I hope to continue and share with you some experiences
Another important aspect is to encourage your partner with his/her career. You have to tell her/him how important what she/he is studying is and never ever imply that medicine or anything you do is better than what she/he does or studies.
Reassure your partner of your commitment to her/him, tell him/her that you genuinely love her/him and want her/him in your life; if possible and affordable every day, then do so. It does not cost you anything but can bring you and partner closer together on an emotional level.
Thank you
