Not a single female doctor is surprised.
Happens every single day.
People never think we are doctors, or pilots it seems.
Interesting, in airport yesterday, buying a drink. Woman in airline uniform in front of me presented cashier with some sort of card. Cashier: ‘only pilots can use those’. Woman: ‘yes’, then silence. Eventually woman said ‘I am a pilot’. Cashier.. red-faced. Sexism? 2023?

Difficult case.
Stopped the list and had an entire theatre staff huddle.

My advise for fellow anaesthetists is to share your concerns and make sure everyone knows you are worried.
All went well.

I once got scolded for taking a sandwich from a patient fridge after being on duty for 17 hours and not eaten for 12 hours.

They threw them out hours later.
