A female patient, no less.

Something about how men are supposed to be leaders and women aren't tough enough to handle the emotional complexity.

Whatever you say, Kimmy Schmidt

Nope, that's not a HIPPA violation to say what she said.

It's not misogynistic, just cause they're a submissive type.

Their statement is still wack, but I understand where they're coming from.

Perhaps you're the one at fault. You should have thrown Doritioes at them.

it's funny she uses the emotional complexity supposedly as a point against women for the job, as the stereotype is supposed to be that women are better with emotionally complex stuff than men, whereas men are supposedly better at analytical stuff or whatever.


I think she meant that we can't handle death and stress.

I think what they were looking for was that women "tend" to be emotionally compromised in certain situations, which may lead to an illogical decision.

But that's just using stereotypes maliciously.

I literally tell nurses and mid-levels to use my first name instead of "doctor" because deep inside I don't believe I deserve the title. I've had to deal with this guilt since graduating medical school and it's just getting worse.

Because I don't believe I really deserve it. I don't know enough to be a good doctor and I don't think I do a good job.

Also they pay me far too much for the level of work I do.

My mother is a Hematologist Supervisor, from my life long interaction with her on her medical work, I can tell you're the real deal.

You've put countless hours in med school to get this far!

Just do your job, be proud of your work, and do the best you can do, be honest!

That's all anybody can do.

Live the path that you can be proud of!

They would just reduce your pay if they didn't think you deserve it. Lol

Stop seeing a counselor, and go try out various therapists until you find the right one.

You should be able to afford a great one.

I really appreciate all the kind words, but part of Imposter Syndrome is that we dismiss compliments as "well, they don't really know the actual me"

It's a cruel thing to have, but doubly so when the industry already has a bias against women physicians.

What's that exactly?

Also I have an inferiority complex too but annoyingly and paradoxically a superiority complex too. It's like... I feel like I'm better than most people but at the same time not good enough by my own standards. It's weird and annoying.

You know as well as I do that a lot of those patients aren't all there mentally. Please don't take their criticisms seriously, because if they knew anything about what you do and what you went through to earn your position, they'd be running the place. Since they don't, they can take their opinions with a glass of water and shove it back down their throat.

You kind of wear this insecurity on your sleeves you know. It's even visible here. You got your MD? And PhD? And licenses? Seems to me then you're fully qualified to be a doctor. Don't be hard on yourself. It doesn't make things any easier.

I read a piece once that described how patients with female doctors tend to do better than those with male physicians.

I wouldn't pay it any mind.
