'''Family''' are all those people related to you, for better or for worse.


'''The Family of Patients'''
----
Nothing thrills a medical professional more than when a patient's family member is at bedside to assist in the treatment process.<ref>[http://gomerblog.com/2014/08/family-member/ RN Relieved to Find Out That Patient’s Family Member’s Aunt is a Nurse]</ref>


'''The Family of a Medical Professional'''
----
The role of a medical professional's family, when they remember you, is to bombard you constantly with medical questions. This is dangerous in the case of medical students, because it may cause them to regret their career choice.<ref>[http://gomerblog.com/2013/06/recently-accepted-medical-student-bombarded-by-medical-questions/ Recently Accepted Medical Student Bombarded by Medical Questions]</ref> In the unfortunate case that a family member, like a spouse, forgets about you, it can lead to accidental [[Polygamy|polygamy]]. And it can work in reverse too, like when neurosurgeon Michael Duke showed up for Thanksgiving dinner and almost didn't recognize his child.<ref>[http://gomerblog.com/2016/11/neurosurgery-resident-thanksgiving/ Neurosurgery Resident Doesn’t Recognize Own Child at Thanksgiving Dinner]</ref>
