I know of one servicewoman who was raped by a colleague, and in this misogynistic climate, that behavior gets a green light. That we have not yet addressed the repeal of Roe is really our nation's greatest failing of its own citizens.
There’s lots of women in the service that serve in many different roles. Perhaps if they granted Kegsbreath his wishes the service would go to hell in a hand basket in short order. There’s many things women do better than men and in part because of neurobiology. Sometimes people in the wrong places should be careful what they ask for.
I grew up as a female physician in a man’s world. They did not want us, they got pathetic do nothing awards over us females, they got ass licking from female nurses (which, at the time, was almost all nurses - if I were in the room with a male nurse he was always called the doctor and I, the physician in the room, was called the nurse). But that is ok with me. The best health care givers and most knowledgeable people I have known were/are nurses. I seldomly relied only on physicians and always got the nurses perspectives. The best people on earth - nurses who are smart and who took up the occupation to take care of patients AND doctors who will listen (usually NOT the men).
People seldom realize that it’s the nurses who spent 12.5 hours at the bedside with their patients. Doctors are in there for 12 minutes to round (unless something goes wrong) and have to do much of their work via computers in another area of the hospital.
You are so correct. Must be a nurse…I had one neurosurgery attending who had tens of fellows. We would do “work” rounds starting at 4 am (I lived in South Atlanta where all the Eastern airline pilots lived, now used to live) and had to get up at 2 am to shower, get ready, coffeed up and on the road by 3 am to park and hike to the hospital. Then we would round with the attending around 5:30 to 6:00 am to make it to the operating room by 7:00 am. Then I got home around 7, 8, 9 pm to get ready for the next day. Attending used to love to do the math. He had so many patients we could only spend about two minutes per patient and still stay on schedule. It was a bitter sweet day when I heard that. That was George Tindall. One of his much younger students married him, she was a neurologist turned neurosurgeon and like most women, better than he was. After he died, being much older, Suzie Tindall “came out”. George had been into orchids and suzie was into welding. Bahahaha. What a pair! But Suzie was one of my favorite teachers. And, she believed in nurses, always respected them, always counted on them and before she would do anything nice to a physician (even George who she constantly mocked) she would have done 10 or perhaps a hundred nice things to a nurse. Great lady, big balls.

Way to persevere, Ma!

What a fun story! Thanks for sharing.
The headline missed was actually buried at the very end. Don’t be afraid to bold Trump’s blatant racism and misogyny, @Jennifer Weiss-Wolf.
