和其他女医生一样,我早就习惯了被人假设是护士。但我经常对男性目击者对这些日常性别歧视行为的沉默感到失望。[1]在最近的一次查房中,我和另一位高级(男性)登记员站在男顾问的两侧,脖子上挂着听诊器。我们发表了自己的意见,三个大三的男生站在我们后面做笔记。病人急于离开,要求拔掉插管。戴上手套,我立刻照办了。之后,病人感谢“你们所有的医生”,并向我示意,“还有你的技师。”我等着有人来纠正他。相反,顾问看起来很尴尬,拖着脚走了。我被留下来向同事们解释日常性别歧视的有害影响,在这种情况下,我希望他们能声援。
Like other female doctors, I have long been accustomed to the assumption that I am a nurse. But I am frequently disappointed by the silence of male witnesses to these everyday acts of sexism. 1 On a ward round recently, I and another senior (male) registrar flanked the male consultant, stethoscopes around our necks. We gave our opinions while three male juniors stood behind us making notes. The patient, itching to leave, was demanding his cannula out. Donning gloves, I swiftly obliged. Afterwards the patient thanked “all you doctors,” adding as he gestured towards me,“and your technician.”I waited for someone to correct him. Instead, the consultant looked embarrassed and shuffled away. I was left to explain to colleagues the harmful effect of everyday sexism and that in such instances I expected their vocal solidarity.
