My thoughts on professionalism and swearing: if you work in healthcare and you don’t say “what the fuck” at least once a day, it’s probably because you’re one of the reasons why everyone else is saying “what the fuck”.

If a female tells you that she’s in medical school or she’s a medical student, it means she’s going to school to become a physician, not an RN, not a PA, not an NP. A physician.

Is someone going to tell male physicians that the reason they’re having a hard time dating is because their personalities are intolerable or are we just going to let them keep believing it’s because they’re too busy?

Stop enabling and validating predators based on “they’re my friend”. It’s likely that we all have someone close to us who has harassed/assaulted others and if that becomes known to you, you don’t stand by that person because they’re your “friend”.

@EduardoManuel33 It’s about gender because it’s common for people to assume females in medical school are becoming anything other than what a medical school degree confers. Institutions can have different programs but medical school is for MDs and DOs. Is that direct enough for you?
