Have you ever wondered what physician family life is really like? Is it all champagne and caviar, or more like 5-hour energy drink and Cup O' Noodles ramen? 

I'm demystifying it all in a new guest blog for The Flipside Life, an organization dedicated to the well-being of physician families (like mine). 

Read more about medical life glitz vs. grit in The Flipside Life blog, which features an excerpt from my book, "Memoirs of a Surgeon's Wife: I'm Throwing Your Damn Pager into the Ocean."

Cheers, and happy reading!

Here’s what the book is all about:
 
Megan Sharma is a surgeon's wife. During her husband's seven years of post-medical school training, while he tackled the dirty work of putting broken faces back together and painstakingly peeling cancer from his patients' jugular veins, she became his sugar mama and helped pave his path to glory.
 
Using humor, reflection, keen observation, and journalistic research, "Memoirs of a Surgeon’s Wife: I’m Throwing Your Damn Pager into the Ocean" peels back the surgical mask to reveal the human being underneath. From the 10 commandments for pleasing superiors to the conundrum of the 80-hour workweek to wearing mismatched shoes to work, Sharma delves into the world of modern medicine as experienced by physician trainees and their loved ones.  
When medicine meets holy matrimony, anything can happen…
