Ever find yourself pondering the secret lives of those married to the heroes in white coats? This episode peels back the curtain on the seldom-discussed world of an OB-GYN Doctor married to a surgeon, where the quirks and challenges are as intricate as the surgeries performed.

Dr. Renée, an OB-GYN, steps into the spotlight to share how she crafted a career that pays homage to her dedication to medicine and motherhood. Her story is a rich tapestry of personal conviction and the art of balancing scrubs with family hugs.

 Things to expect in this episode:

  • Insights into the Surgeon's Spouse Life
  • Dr. Renée's Personal Journey as a OB-GYN Locums Doctor and a mother.
  • Medical School Triumphs where Dr. Renée reveals how a less-than-stellar MCAT score was just a comma, not a full stop, in her narrative.
  • How Dr. Renée overcame naysayers and academic challenges, fortified by parental support and her unwavering resolve.
  • OB-GYN common Myths.
