Customer Reviews

Medical Marriages - Almost right on the money!

As a physician's spouse, I found this book very timely even though it was written more than 10 years ago. Every physician and their spouse should read this book, especially those in the 38-45 year old age group. The authors describe what drives a physician, what happens when reality does not meet their expecations, and how it impacts their spouse, children and their personal lives. I hope Dr. Menninger releases a new edition of this book soon!
