Our neighbors are a physician and PA married couple…the wife is the MD and the H is the PA…they have their own office. They would say that the wife’s schedule is a more hectic than the H’s. He has more time to do the “family stuff”…we see him more at school events and such for their 4 kids.

I’m not saying that the road to PA or the life of a PA is easy, it’s just that the H does have more free time than the MD wife. Tidbit…he was a paramedic first, then returned to school to become a PA.
