Women in Medicine

Medicine has a long-standing habit of telling women to wait their turn. The fix is not a pizza party. It’s naming how the game actually works — then changing who gets to be a somebody. I’ve made that case from three TEDx stages, at SAEM and the FemInEM Idea Exchange, and in the essays here — on hierarchy, on wellness culture as a substitute for change, on how a female physician stops being a nobody.
