(1,737 posts)My suggestion, don't marry her if her profession is so out of sync with your ideology, so much so you had to post about it on DU.
No, I don't think your "prospects look good" at all because $$$ is not the most important aspect of successful relationships.
As a healthcare professional, I find it hard to believe that this was the result of communicating with her. You might want to sit down and have a discussion on the process of becoming a medical doctor and the function of a medical doctor. I'm sure you know for the most part it is not a 9-5 job. I used to work in labor and delivery before working in the ICU. Babies don't come on a schedule. Sometimes one baby is scheduled for Dr. A to deliver. Dr A plans to leave after. Then another of Dr. A's patient is in labor, then another and before you know it Dr. A is at the hospital all day with few rest in between. It was working in labor and delivery that solidify my view that I could not become a MD. You may have a different outlook if you listen to a few MDs.
There's a lot wrong with our healthcare system, compensating people for their hard work is not one of them.
Edit to add: As an OBGYN how is her malpractice insurance?
