The Medical Marriage

Fall 2011

This was an incredible lecture given by Dr. Mary Claire O’Brien, an Emergency Medicine physician at Wake Forest Baptist Health who is so many things including a trusted mentor for so many. The evening was hosted by the Forsyth/Stokes/Davie County Medical Society and organized by our Women Physicians section. This is one of the rare evenings where our group actually allowed their spouses to join them. :) With her sarcasm and dry wit, Dr. O’Brien discussed the many issues involved in a two-physician marriage and gave us advice regarding everything from child-rearing and date nights to the epic necessity of continued open and honest communication with one’s spouse.
