Abstract:
When I told people I was pursuing a career in medicine, the statistics of female physician suicide were mentioned. When I professed an interest in surgery, I was told to choose a specialty for lifestyle, because as a woman I would need a career that would allow me to raise my future children. All around me, I have been assaulted by doubt, as senior physicians whisper to students of my generation to turn away while we still can.
