Jen: 13:42 Yeah. Tiring but definitely possible, just need to set aside time to make it work. Easier said than done, but you know. It really depends on you, the priority you place on dating, and your program. Lara: 07:00 Yeah, that’s what I was thinking, that’s my old stomping ground. I'm dating someone in residency for a few months now and so far it's been great. Lara: 04:33 Nice, Nice. Kade: 07:02 Yeah, yeah, yeah. I’m thinking what’s between Oklahoma and Tennessee, you drive right through Arkansas, right? They don’t understand the schedule. Because it takes time and effort on my part. I mean it definitely, it definitely wasn’t the first date I went on, that’s for sure. It’s only going to be for a year. And we’re on Twitter, you can find us on Soundcloud and I believe also on iTunes. Welcome to episode 82 of the Married to Doctors podcast. Jen Rodney and Kade Polson are both here to do a couple interview with us today. They then lived together during the start of his residency, and got married one year into the residency. Closing: 31:43 Awesome. You know, she’s high maintenance, I didn’t want, that is not something I’ve really ever been attracted to and somebody I could just go out and do things with. Tweet. And we got engaged in March or 2018. I love it. Lara: 09:19 And what was your response as you learned that she was in medicine? I think if I remember right, it said, you know Jennifer is 30 miles from you, it’s like within a mile range. But it was kind of a sacrifice because if I didn’t take another hour out to talk to him, then I wouldn’t talk to him the whole week.

Lara: 19:22 So much young love you guys. Like that’s kind of a hike, right? I think that’s so important because that’s where a lot of just like hard feelings can come up in a relationship because for a physician or a physician in training, like they’re on a trajectory and like their schedule is made for them. I’m originally from Watonga, Oklahoma. Is that correct? This is a subreddit specifically for interns and residents to get together and discuss issues concerning their training and medicine/surgery. Welcome to the Residency subreddit, a community of interns and residents who are just trying to make it through training! Kade, any last words? I think that’s something that a lot of guys use. It’s definitely going to be a two way street with that. Right now I live in Norman, Oklahoma and I work at the University of Oklahoma in the Office of Research Services. I’ll let you know if that ever changes so you can make a donation at marriedtodoctors.com/support and I also had some amazing reviews come in over the last month, so I wanted to thank al-Mahdi2, LaurenH, AbbyBoyer, JMarandR, MandyMermaidMay, RoadRunnerSLC. But you know, the whole thing was they just was a turnoff. So welcome. I have to get up for work early in the morning. I went to OU for my undergrad and I got my masters in 2017 so I’ve lived here since 2005, so I’ve lived here quite, quite a while now. Not that I, you know, went out a lot because I had lot of stuff to do, but you know, I’d make time here and there to go out with my friends and meet people and I dated, you know, medical students, which at the time I thought was where it would be easiest because they kind of understand my schedule and they understand what it’s like. Is dating possible in residency? Build each other up. To learn more, or to share your story, visit our website at marriedtodoctors.com. Any success stories? Lara: 16:43 Right, right. Like his sleep patterns are off. Kade: 18:10 Yeah, it was. They’re in residency at a program that’s a 5hr drive away, it can work if you put in the effort. Kade: 07:15 Just the whole way, which is kind of nice. And I really just tried to accommodate her because I thought, well that, that’s what makes sense because she’s a doctor, she’s super busy and I’m not, I’m a research administrator. Kade: 12:32 She can still talk about that. So you know, every now and then she needed an errand done, you know, I’d try to do it for in the city if I could. You have to go through a lot of, not so great dates, but I eventually met him. Lara: 31:23 Great. I remember when we were in surgery residency and the kids hadn’t seen Josh in quite some time and I was frustrated and I talked to him about it and he said, you know, you’re right, you’re right. Lara: 25:52 So any advice you guys would have for medical students or someone dating a medical student? So definitely just make time for that. Because we know that being married to a doctor isn’t always as glamorous as it sounds, our podcast helps successful homes be happier. But I would just say as you mature, you have to look at the other person and you have to be considerate of them and everything that they have going on. Kade: 31:26 Any last words? Okay. Yeah. How can you date somebody outside of medicine? Yeah. Depending on when you get together, like you might be trying to do a couples match or something like that and not maybe committing…. Um, so when Jen was still living in Oklahoma, we actually went to look at some apartments and things when we knew that she was going to Vanderbilt. Right? They're still doing well and he manages to spend a lot of time with her and still do things like resident poker night, go to basketball and hockey games, and hanging out with attendings, etc. Kade, what about you? I mean, to be frank about it, I mean I, I had, I’ll never forget, I was at a party one time and I met a guy and we were having this great conversation. It’s because that’s who we’re around all the time. And I thought that that was kind of where I would end up. Have you guys seen each other at all during the seven months? It's the same as any other hobby or activity during residency, if you make it a priority you'll find the time to make it happen. It’s constant work, really. So rare is the meeting/dating/marrying during residency formula that when Surgeon made his graduation speech, the loudest applause was when he mentioned meeting/dating/marrying yours truly. Go on. And that’ll always keep lines of communication open and keep you from growing apart. And then one time I waited too late to buy a plane ticket and they were like, you know, 500 bucks a round trip ticket. However, it can also be incredibly rewarding if your relationship can come out on the other side. Or are you driving? While it might be tempting to put off dating during training, Jen and Kade share their … You don’t have to try to marry the first person that, you date, you know, I, I feel like that might be something, especially when you’re younger, you think, oh that might happen. And so, you know, trying to help them through that with a little bit of coaching. I’m a singer, so that’s kind of what led me into the world of laryngology. Met my girlfriend during my intern year through a dating app. I would definitely say, yeah. He isn't in medicine. I think that, you know, we should just try to make time for that throughout training because it’s, I don’t know, I think it’s important and it keeps you happy. Lara: 18:05 Well good. I can’t remember for sure. So, oh, the other thing I was going to say is dating people outside of medicine, then on the other hand was also presented unique challenges because a lot of guys are not, they, they get intimidated. So yeah, so it’s kind of, you know, it’s like the last thing I do before I go to bed and it kind of just makes it feel like we’re not so far apart because I kind of tell him how my day was and he tells me how his day was. Jen: 07:43 Almost three years. Exactly. Still seeing my SO from med school. Lara: 03:55 Why don’t you guys both take a turn just introducing yourself to the audience. So Nashville is like a fun place to be then? And I can just say that I have no time.
