What a remarkable story and perspective. We have a lot of work to do as physicians to improve healthcare for every patient, and recognizing aspects of our culture that need to change is the first step. Misogyny in our field is deeeeeply rooted. Keep going, Dr Zha.
I’m so grateful to both of you doing this work on here! Sharing your perspectives, pushing back against misogyny and ableism… it’s wonderful. We need the physician and patient perspective to go hand in hand!
Thank you so much for this absolute gift of an article - it came at the exact perfect time for me. I so appreciate you articulating the struggles that uterus owners endure having control over their own bodies.
We must do better - too many of us have these stories and not all will have a happy ending
Thank you for sharing my article - I so appreciate it! It’s fascinating to contrast a patient & physician experience and see so many similarities. We really have a lot of work to do with respect to how we treat uterus owners!
I almost shared my own male OB GYN experiences here but decided not to. I have so many of them but it's just too frightening and discouraging. Thank you for shining a light onto this overbearing, bullying testosterone-filled MD attitude while women are in such desperate, vulnerable health situations. 🫶
Thank you for reading! Sometimes I feel kind of crazy: in the rooms I am complicit to the system that works against women, and out of them I write furiously against the stuff!

So deeeeply rooted! We have to be able to do SOMETHING in our practices, no matter how small those things are....

I know right, we don't say what we REALLY want to say -- not without a dirty martini in hand, we don't lol!
