Dating for Healthcare
Doctors Dating — On Your Schedule
Doctors work some of the longest and most irregular hours of any profession — and residency is worse.
Why dating is hard for doctors
- •Call schedules devour weekends without warning
- •Post-call you're not good company, you're a zombie
- •The hours don't get normal after residency, they just get different
Why doctors are worth dating
- ✓Your post-call days are real days off — nobody's Slacking you
- ✓You've got the discipline to actually show up when you say you will
- ✓Matching with another clinician means neither of you has to explain the life
