You might think that you're being a nightmare in the week leading up to your period and fear for the stability of your relationship, but seriously, think about how much stress your doctor has to deal with on a daily basis. In fact, your PMS is probably a walk in the park compared to dealing with angry families of patients, crying children with broken arms, trying to fit in a lunch break while there are forty people waiting to be seen for the flu, and having to prioritize the woman having the baby or the man with the bleeding gash on his head. All of these things have made doctors much less vulnerable to stress, and unless you do something really terrible, you're probably always going to represent a calming presence to come home to.
I love Stephen King and music festivals; I eat my toast upside down; I daydream about getting married probably a bit too much; and I wish every day for a pet sausage dog puppy (who never materialises – sob).
