Welcome

Living with a Physician

I live with a doctor who constantly offers me medical advice. For the most part, this comes in handy, but sometimes it’s downright frustrating. I am not a healthy person by nature. I really love to eat pasta and desserts, and I enjoy drinking wine and honestly, I’m not crazy about exercise in any form.

My husband and I have been together for almost 40 years and married for over 30 years. He is an internal medicine physician and spends his days telling patients how to live a healthy lifestyle, and a lot of that advice makes its way into our home. Much of it is given while we’re at the dinner table, when friends or family members ask medical questions or seek his professional opinion. It seems the communal act of sharing a meal and some wine makes guests feel emboldened to ask anything! We’ve discussed bathroom habits, dead bodies, blood, colonoscopies, and more at our dinner table.
