The most notable is that every time I’ve had medical care-childbirth, gallbladder surgery, emergency care, hysterectomy-I’ve done so at my husband’s place of work, meaning he knew everyone and exactly how to navigate the system to ensure I had the best care. It’s an interesting thing to be married to a hospital pharmacist. ![]() But my husband also started out at a small community hospital, a critical access hospital in fact, which meant there were some quirky things from his experience I was dying to include, at least in spirit. My husband has been a clinical pharmacist for years, and I know simply from dinner table conversation that hospital workplaces are full of enough conflict and drama to fill a publishing house.
