You Know You Are A Med School Wife If...

You know you are a med school wife if...

  • You receive book-sized packages on your front step about every 3-4 business days and have purchased additional shelving to store all of these "packages".
  • You have found yourself talking freely about bodily functions with your coworkers and stopped when you noticed them shifting uncomfortably in their seats.
  • You know what the ASIS is and could locate it on the body.
  • You have been caught looking through the derm section of your husband's pathology book. (Hey...there is some pretty gross stuff in there!)
  • You get nauseous 4 times a year when you read, "If you were to begin payments today, your monthly bill would be..."
  • You are very familiar with the smell of formaldehyde.
  • You know who Dr. Goljan is and have listened to more than one consecutive hour of his lectures on a road trip.

These are just a few...feel free to add more!

What is fermaldehyde?

formaldehyde is what they used to preserve the cadavers in...now they use something but it still has a certain concentration of formaldehyde but not nearly as toxic as it used to be...it still smells just as bad though.

I'm the husband, but my wife and I thought...

you know you're a med school wife when...

sitting next to your husband while he's studying is "spending time together"
