I am blessed with this kind of woman, thank you very much.
Just asked her about it, she agreed with me that this lady is full of crap, as well. Her comment was that she wouldn't want to be hooked up to the $#%##@ pump for an hour. 15 minutes at a time was enough misery, already.
I'd also add that if a person doesn't have what it takes to meet the requirements for ANY profession - either mentally, physically, or just through the choices that they've made (having a baby while going through a rigorous med school program, for instance) - then they don't deserve to be in the profession.
I agree with your wife.
