I have mainly worked my 42 years in family practice alone except for the military, raised triplets on my own completely with no family support or help. The good ol’ boy system did not allow for female physicians to enter their groups or invite to join so solo practice was the only way to go, especially to have flexibility in my scheduling with 3 children the same age. NO resources. Sometimes I took them to conventions for CME when they were older. When 90% are male, it is easy to dismiss the females or ignore us. Now the numbers are totally different in ratios M/F. Good luck with getting corporate medicine to care either. Limited childcare, especially in rural areas takes a tremendous financial toll. Only when male physicians ask similar questions will it truly be equal. Good Luck! Mar. 9, 2023, at 4:34 pm Reply
