If you have additional questions, please send them to me and I would love to hear what the questions are.
I am happy to either do an episode about it to answer the questions or if I don't know the answers, I'm happy to share with my network of other fellow physicians and physician spouses so we can get your answer to your question right away.
And if you enjoyed this episode, I would love for you to subscribe, leave a review, or share it with another physician spouse.
