subject: A woman Becomes a Doctor with the Help of Her Husband [print this page] A loving husband must respect the desires of his wife's heart. But the men are separated from the boys as soon as the wife states that her wish is not a mink coat, but in fact, a medical career. With his deep love for his wife, he puts her to medical school. He also shares his view that just because a woman is married, it doesn't mean that her life has ended. Whatever makes her a better lady and wife, she should be allowed to pursue it. He believes that his wife has become a better spouse and person thanks to her career.
And few people know the depth of the moral and financial support he was ready to stake on this belief. The vital young man with the sentimental brown eyes is a good hairdresser with his own business. Such a decision called for both emotional and financial demands. It called for a 300 mile distance between the husband and wife. Married women have low priority on coed medical school acceptance list and his wife, turned down at area schools, finally won acceptance at a woman's medical college in Philadelphia.
It would be stupid to forsake his thriving business even when he badly wanted to be with her in Philadelphia. He jokes that their baby, a 10 month old girl is the only Norfolk infant to be born with a medical degree. Prior to attaining her degree in medicine, his wife was three months on the way. Once again, she is working at De Paul Hospital where she had her internship then to work now as a resident in pathology. She is making up for lost time and making a huge effort so that they can have enough before their second child comes, which only within a few months now.Money problems riddle frequently during the years she spent in medical school. Two households were placed on Kenny's shoulders.
Thanks to the phone bills, Kenny had to pay so much. She'd pick up the phone every time she misses him and whenever she feels disheartened in her medical studies. She was fueled by her husband's constant pep talks. She won't be able to make it if not for her husband according to her.
Flying to Philadelphia is something this industrious hairdresser looks forward to. The husband shares that it was truly painstaking for both of them. She has 40 hours during her on the job training but she could only use 8 hours of it to spend time at home. When the maid leaves she would take over caring for the baby and she enjoys it a lot. Her sentiment is that if more fathers are involved in caring for their children, then they could grow closer to each other.The baby was bathed for the very first time by her doting dad.
When we got home from the hospital, my husband took over, she shares. For him, it looked really natural. In fact, he was the one who was nervous when I started helping. I work within a daytime schedule which is almost a regular one, she explains. The hours I spend for work are longer than what most people work with, but I get home to enjoy dinner in the evening with my beloved child and husband. When you are able to do what you love most in the world, you don't have the need for anything else.
