People can really test your patience sometimes. Especially when you’re a female doctor. Society makes assumptions about us based on our looks, our clothing, the car we drive, and the gender we claim.
As the world has evolved, so have gender roles. More women are entering the professional arena; in fact, there are more female medical students now than there are male medical students.
