Aaaahhh.

In case nobody told you, you’re doing great. Following from: @WitterPacey

This also largely applies to nursing. Please look after yourselves, and look after your colleagues. Medicine is exhausting in all sorts of ways, and you can’t look after your patients if you aren’t looking after yourself.

So this is what it looks like before I start studying (AKA spreading notes all over everywhere). Hope y’all are doing great! 🥰☀️

[26.03.19] 4/100

Throwback to when I cared for my Geography exam notes 😪 I spent so much time studying for that exam and thinking I was going to fail it, and I ended up with a 8.5/10 ☺️

I have to study for my Spanish literature exam for tomorrow, but I’m really relaxed about it because I find the questions really easy.

I only have 20 or less days of lessons before I finish. Can’t wait for that to happen.

Hope you had a really good and productive day ☺️💖

Looks extra messy today but I was actually sooo productive!

I’m studying for my hematology midterm that’s coming up, using a study with me vídeo that uses the pomodoro technique, it really really helped! This video is by TheStriveToFit on YouTube.

Hope y’all are having great days!

[myeyeballsareleaking]

Can exams just stop being a thing please I wanna be outside in the sun ☀️

[myeyeballsareleaking]

Trying to get ahead this semester, so I’m starting to read my urology notes 📝 it’s so sunny today, and everything looks so green! ☀️🌻 Hope y’all are doing great!

I think I’m gonna start feeding the hubby pediatric trivia so we’re on more even footing once we start trying for a kid.

My experiments include randomly telling him about the use of vitamin K in newborns, and getting “whoo” as the only response.

[myeyeballsareleaking]

Now that my exams are over (for now...) I tried to practice my lettering; I don’t know if the letters themselves are pretty but the water turned such a beautiful blue!

Hope y’all have a great weekend! 🥰

The sexism in surgery is shocking – from 'banter' to discrimination | Daniella Donato-Brown

More diversity is needed in every way, says general surgery registrar Daniella Donato-Brown

In 2016 58% of people applying to medicine and dentistry courses were women. However, according to the Royal College of Surgeons of England, only about 12% of consultant surgeons in 2018 were women. Why? A small survey in the BMJ medical journal points to the level of discrimination. As a general surgical trainee, I have been shocked by the experiences reported by some female colleagues. The discrepancy in the number of women applying to medicine and those going on to become consultant surgeons can partly be explained by the higher dropout rate. Could inherent gender discrimination within surgery itself play a part in that?

Female colleagues with children have struggled to be accepted and are seen as less than full-time surgeons, despite working similar hours in hospital to those surgeons with part-time hospital and research commitments. A female surgeon returning from maternity leave didn’t dare tell colleagues that she had a 10-month-old baby at home, fearing that she would be viewed as lacking “commitment to speciality”. Female surgeons are continually asked about their family plans. I was even asked at an international conference if colorectal surgery would be the correct career path if I plan to have children. These aren’t challenges that are unique to surgery – or to women, with more men taking longer paternity leave – yet the stigma seems more entrenched in surgery than other specialities.

All I can say is, as a woman in medicine, I am not surprised. Surgery is renowned for being a boys’ club, and that is just not on.

[studyeyeq]

I told y'all how I did my royal college OSCE and out of the 40ish examiners and 20 candidates a full zero (0) were women right?

Also surgery is the worst but it’s across the board. One of my classmates ditched Paeds after being asked in her interview if she was planning to have kids soon. It was the first question from her majority female interview panel.

[dxmedstudent]

I don’t have the energy to add long personal stories right now, but this.

I’ve had the ‘you shouldn’t do this specialty if you are a woman and want to have kids/don’t want to get divorced’ talk from seniors on multiple occasions.

[a-penguin-in-my-next-life]

Me too. I don’t know how many times I’ve received “advice” from seniors to choose a shorter specialty or one that has more regular hours because “think of the children you will have to care for” or like “who is going to watch your children while you work those crazy hours?”. Or told that this or that specialty is not suitable for women.

I’ve had female colleagues who initially were really interested in surgical specialties or clinical specialties that require several years of training drop those dreams because they eventually would want to have a family and they couldn’t do a career in ‘x’ specialty and raise their kids, because “who would take care of their kids then”.

And don’t get me started on the harassment one can experience in the surgical ward and overall condecendent attitude from some surgeons toward female trainees and med students.

[lauraingallswilders]

where I work the men’s changing room is right off the entrance to theatres. and women have to pick up scrubs at the entrance, leave theatres, go down a long corridor to their changing room & enter theatres again at a back door.

of course only 12% of surgeons are female, so what would be the point of a rotation or redesign to give them a better space? not enough of them to benefit. never mind that the nursing & support staff are majority women & there’s 2-3 of them for every doctor in theatre. (which infuriatingly only reinforces their idea that Women Are Inferior)

to say nothing of the ‘banter’ and the microaggressions and the outright harassment. I personally couldn’t bear to train in such a hostile environment. I feel like some of these articles (& the royal college) push for women to initiate the culture change, you know “girl power! you can infiltrate the speciality & change it from within !” But they have a right to a career & a life they enjoy ? so men already in the field would need to initiate the welcome, but they have no incentive. they like their boys club.

[verymedical]

2 weeks in my internship, I’m sitting at the patient’s head side, partially hidden by the screen, quietly just observing. The operating team is all male doctors and male surgical assistants. The surgeons are 4th year resident, a new 5th year resident and a 5th year who is almost finished with their residency. So in walks another surgeon, this one an AP( assistant proff, youngish fellow, in his late 30’s maybe). They all start making jokes about the incoming batch of female surgery houseofficers. Jokes of the locker room type. And I knew that atleast 3 of these guys were married and the two had kids. They apparently forgot I was there, coz I knew this kind of stuff happened but this was my first instance of actually observing without having someone watch their tongue since I was a girl. One incident of many, specially when they thought they didnt have to ‘observe’ any social manners.

Later one of the female surgical resident made it a point of telling me she and her fellow female residents had to cultivate this ‘masculine/ dudebro (mard maar) ’ type of demeanor since it was hard to be treated equally otherwise.And even then, they couldnt get the same opportunities.

Also, I’ve had people discourage me so much when I was trying to decide between surgery and my current specialty and then tell me I made a smart decision to drop surgery because 'its not a field for girls. They need to have time for families. ’. Mind you these same folks don’t mind women overworking themselves to death in gynae and obs… Probably because it’s a traditional women heavy field and it brings the money….

I think it’s out of spite, I refuse to get married and have that damn family.. Lol

Still messy around here...

I have like a week to prepare seven thousand million pediatrics notes so it’s gonna be messy or it’s not gonna be 🤯😱

Hope y’all are doing great! Happy new year!

when you find an academic source that’s perfect for your paper but it’s behind a pay wall

[deadmomjokes]

Deciding to cite it anyway base on the abstract, knowing your professor probably won’t go through and look up every source in works cited

Linguistic Identity Questionnaire

Linguistic Identity Questionnaire

Hey guys, I’m sorry to ask for things but I’d really appreciate it if you could answer this quick survey! My boyfriend is doing his master thesis on how each language we speak can create a whole new identity for ourselves, and he needs to know if you relate to these statements.

Thank you so much!
