[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm married to a doctor as well.  He's won multiple awards at work for his empathy with patients and fabulous teaching style with students and residents.  He gets accolades and gifts left and right from patients who say he is kind and patient.  He talks endlessly with a myriad of friends and family members who have medical questions.
  
However our kids and I (and himself) he is definitely of the "suck it up and deal with it unless you've lost a limb" mentality.   We get almost zero hand-holding at home.  I could be vomiting my brains out or birthing a child without anesthesia and he acts like it's all no big deal.  And yes, he is able to show love and compassion to me in many ways.  It's just when it comes to HEALTH concerns he's definitely of the "suck it up you could have it much worse" mentality with us. [/quote]

Does he expect you to take care of him when he is sick?  (running to the store to get meds, soup, tissues, etc) Or does he just suck it up and deal with it when he's sick?[/quote]
