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.
