The Family Medicine Forgot
The unseen ways medical training reshapes marriage, family life, and the spouses supporting a physician.
THE CENTER OF CONNECTION FOR EVERY FAMILY IN MEDICINE
Life in medicine should never be about one person.
It changes marriages, families, careers, finances, and identities. We share the stories of people building a life in and outside of medicine.
Physicians are more than their credentials. Families are more than supporting characters.

ABOUT OTHER SIDE MED
Meet the founders.
Chris Herring is a former marketing executive, now an entrepreneur and real estate investor. Dr. Hannah Thompson is a practicing OBGYN and business owner.
Other Side Med grew out of the life they were already living.
Through medical school, residency, two pregnancies, and a few career changes, they saw firsthand how deeply a career in medicine shapes an entire family.
They created Other Side Med to share those stories and connect the people living them.
Our StoryWHAT WE BELIEVE
Medicine is meaningful. So are the people creating life around it.
Physicians deserve to be seen as people, not just providers.
Spouses deserve recognition.
Children and homes are shaped by medicine, too.
Honest conversations can build stronger families.
