There’s always been a tremendous amount of honor in working in the medical field, but I think we all feel a heightened respect for those doing so now, during the COVID-19 pandemic. We always knew, to some extent, that doctors and nurses do something very similar to firemen, in that they walk into the situation from which everyone else is trying to escape. Nobody hopes to wind up in the hospital. But every day, doctors and nurses go there, intentionally, knowing they’ll witness some horrifying things. They’ll also witness some beautiful things, but they know they’re embracing an emotional roller coaster that’s beyond comprehensible to those who don’t work in this field. And then, there are those quieter heroes who maybe we don’t talk about as much: those behind the doctors and nurses. Their loved ones who support them. Their family and friends and romantic partners who give them the strength to keep going. That’s no small task, either. If you’re romantically involved with someone in this field, you know what it’s about. Now, if you’re involved with someone currently in medical school, that is its own heaven and hell. Med school is quite a bit like training camp for the military: every day is meant to be like the hardest day on the real job may be, so they’re prepared for when those days come. Here is what to know if you’re going to be with someone in medical school.
You’re in a waiting period
You’re entering what will feel like the waiting room or lobby of your relationship. You’re not fully in it right now. It’s just on the other side of some doors. You can see it and taste it. It’s right there. But now, you have to wait. There is no semblance of a normal relationship when you’re with someone in medical school.

The fight for police reform is heating up, and it’s hitting some nerves in the House of Representatives. On Wednesday, tempers flared during a House hearing on the matter and it left Louisiana Congressman Cedric Richmond at odds with his Republican colleague Matt Gaetz.
During the gathering of the House Judiciary Committee, Richmond expressed his frustrations with GOP members of Congress who were attempting to dilute the bill backed by Democrats, with amendments pertaining to far-left political movement Antifa and other irrelevant issues that didn’t speak to the heart of the Justice In Policing Act.
WASHINGTON, DC – JUNE 17:Representative Cedric Richmond, a Democrat from Louisiana, speaks during a markup on H.R. 7120, the “Justice in Policing Act of 2020,”on June 17, 2020, in Washington, D.C. The House bill would make it easier to prosecute and sue officers and would ban federal officers from using choke holds, bar racial profiling, end “no-knock” search warrants in drug cases, create a national registry for police violations, and require local police departments that get federal funds to conduct bias training.(Photo by Erin Scott-Pool via Getty Images)“I’m offended and angry as hell,” Richmond said about Republicans’ efforts to thwart the measure, before warning his “good friends” on the other side of the aisle that “by the time I’m finished, you will be clear that we are not good friends.”
“As a Black male who went to the fifth best public high school in the country, who was a victim of excessive force, who has a Black son, who has worries that you all don’t, and to my colleagues— especially the ones that keep introducing amendments that are a tangent and a distraction from what we’re talking about— you all are white males, you never lived in my shoes and you do not know what it’s like to be an African American male.”
Richmond continued airing his grievances, adding, “All I’m saying is if you are opposed to this legislation, let’s just have the vote, but please do not come in this committee room and make a mockery of the pain that exists in my community.”
For reasons unknown, Gaetz (R-FL) believed that a proper follow-up to Richmond’s impassioned plea was to ask the former CBC chair if he was suggesting that none of his Republican colleagues had Black sons. It was an obviously moot point that led Richmond to reclaim his time.
“It is not about the color of your kids,” Richmond argued, recentering the discussion around Black lives being taken at the hands of the police. “And if one of them happens to be your kid,” Richmond added, “I’m concerned about him too, and clearly I’m more concerned about him than you are.”
The comments triggered Gaetz who is unmarried and without children. He attempted to take Richmond on, yelling across the House floor, “You’re claiming you have more concern about my family than I do. Who in the hell do you think you are?”
Richmond, in the most unbothered of tones, responded to Gaetz’s theatrics by simply saying, “If the shoe fits… A kicked dog hollers,” before calmly asking “Was that a nerve?”
