I can only imagine how luxurious it is if you fall ill and have someone that can treat you on the spot. No waiting rooms, forms to fill out, etc.

My mom is a nurse. I never fell ill because I’m not a pussy.

or just study to be a doctor yourself

you won’t even have to talk to them and then you can join that other thread

Both parents are RNs. Definitely was a huge help growing up never waiting to be seen either at a facility or just at a doc friend's house and having access to doc notes whenever I wanted.

You still need to fill out more forms than you'd think especially in today's digitized world.

Having a ER nurse as a wife is great considering we have a toddler.

That said, it’s also a curse at times because everything is viewed through a medical lens. She’s seen the worst that can happen to kids.

This is not how any of this works. My wife is a doctor and she just tells me to go see a doc. Unless their specialty is general medicine, they most likely will just refer you to someone else. Also nobody likes to bring work home

My aunt was a nurse. I enjoyed borrowing her 4runner as a teen

My parents weren't doctors/nurses growing up, but they were really good, lifelong friends with the best ENT doctor in our area. Other people would call and try to get an appointment and it would be days or a week or more. Mom would call and get us in that afternoon. He was an old school doctor, and I miss the ol' baw. He legitimately died from mad cow disease that the doctors believe he picked up from something he ate during his army days during Vietnam. It was a terrible way to go go for guy who had recently retired and all he wanted to do was drive his tractor.

It’s not like they’re performing surgery in the garage. They just give the kid Tylenol like anyone else.

Not as parents but we have a dermatologist in the family and next door neighbor is a nurse practitioner. It has its benefits

Yeah, it is nice. If dad can't cut it out (surgeon), go get a script from mom (internal med). I have a whole drawer full of rando prescription shite. They just call in the z-pack or prednisone whenever we need it. Hate air travel? Here's some valiums for vacay. Three month wait to get an appointment with a specialist? Uh uh, phone call gets made and get seen next week.

My dad is a doctor. We weren't allowed to be sick. We went to school no matter what.

My father in law appreciates that I'm a doctor. He gets his carpel tunnel injections on the kitchen table though

Well, my dad's a dentist so I guess it's been nice to never pay for teeth cleanings?

I've never had a cavity so no fillings and his friend, an oral surgeon, took out my wisdom teeth. Come to think of it, he's never actually done any real dental work on me....

ETA: He has prescribed drugs for me a few times though. Nothing too serious, just some antibiotics and eye drops and other stuff like that...

Wife’s a nurse and she has hookups at convenient care. The kids also had strep and her doctor wrote us all scripts.

We’re also the type to keep meds readily available at home that are still within expiration and have a huge cabinet of stuff, but that has nothing to do with her being a nurse.

My daughter and SIL are both flight nurses. Its come in handy at times.
One time I sent them a picture of a deep long cut on my hand and asked them what should I use to clean the cut with before I superglue and electrical tape it. They told me to go to the emergency room.

It’s actually illegal for a doctor to treat his kids.

My wife is a nurse and she can get her hands on IV bags and give me IVs whenever I fall ill. Its the best.
