I've had so many patients ask me to speak to my attending. I'm a small woman, but have been an attending for 3 years now...

Sorry about that! It's a common issue for sure. I hope to change this at my hospital but it's tough since medicine is so behind.

I love when people ask me if the attending will be coming in soon. I get to say "You just spoke with her actually" and it brings me joy. This happens to my boss literally at least once a day so hang in there! You're helping change it just by doing your job.

Yep, happens to my attending all the time. Sorry to hear that. Its a typical stereotype.

Do the comments come with prejudice? I sure hope it's merely an impression.

My wife has been giving anesthesia for twenty years. She still gets asked when will the doctor be in when doing h & p / pre-op interviews. Sometimes no amount of patient education is effective.

Feeling a bit down after a negative pregnancy test today - we’ve officially passed the six month mark of TTC. I’m 33, progesterone, prolactin, and thyroid all look normal but my cycles suck.

I keep getting the “it’s totally normal to take this long” 😕 I’m scared we’ll waste a year just to find out there is a problem.

I'm really excited. I basically couldn't walk for like a week after I had COVID. Even just laying down hurt. It was like merely existing was excruciating (reminded me of the last 8 weeks or so of pregnancy honestly).

I told myself I couldn't go back to the office until I could be on my feet for several minutes (for meetings, bathroom trips, etc.). Yesterday was my first day back in the office. It was horribly painful. But today is Day 2, and I'm doing OK!!! I'm so excited!
