ALBANY, N.Y. (NEWS10) -- Today's 98.3 TRY Social Dilemma came from Jimmy and it's about family and advice. Here's his email: Get the latest news, weather, sports and entertainment delivered right to your inbox! Hi Jaime I recently (about eight months ago) got remarried after my first wife passed away. My wife is a doctor...an internist to be specific. We dated for two years before we got married and my family was great with her. But, ever since we've gotten married, my family, and I mean, brothers, sisters, nieces, nephews, etc. all feel like they can call or email her with every single medical question under the sun. It doesn't happen once or twice. I mean, she's getting questions at least 3-4 times a week, anything from dealing with a bee sting, to an ache or pain someone has. I think my wife should start charging for consultations because it's gotten out of hand. I say $25 per question unless it's an emergency. That's still a lot cheaper than what they would pay their own docto...

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:30:45 GMT

Dear Amy: My wife is a doctor who, at the beginning of the pandemic, needed to be extremely cautious about her exposure to COVID.We asked our adult daughter, “Sarah,” to limit the circle of people she had personal contact with so we could still have in-person visits with her and our grandchildren, while protecting my wife’s patients.One day we saw a picture of Sarah on social media having cocktails unmasked and indoors at a mutual friend “Carrie’s” house.We informed both Sarah and Carrie that Sarah now had to quarantine for two weeks.We called Carrie to ask her to stop these invitations so that we could see our daughter.While we were on the phone with Carrie, she texted Sarah to invite her for cocktails that evening (Sarah was sitting next to us while we called)!My wife later told Carrie how angry we were.Carrie brushed this off and said my wife was being overly sensitive.A few weeks later, Carrie’s husband was diagnosed with prostate cancer. She promptly informed everyone how impor...
