What is a woman’s role if she is not beautiful? No one’s girlfriend/wife? No one’s mother?
A good friend told me that woman often have less self-confidence than men and this is especially obvious in the field of medicine. I’m working with a man who I consider to be the best family practice DO I have ever met. There’s nothing to criticize in this experience except myself, so why do I do that? Why can’t I just soak up the experience for what it is, learn what I can and forever have this magnificent example of an ideal osteopathic family practice?
Woman are natural nurturers. Medicine is very paternalistic: either grow some balls or get out! I receive so many compliments that I’m going to be a great doctor and all I can think to myself is that I can’t wait to pay of my loans so I can run away to a nunnery, a Buddhist nunnery of course.
