How pervasive is sexism in medicine today? I asked my female Instagram folllwers: doctors, nurses, NPs, PAs, if I could anonymously share their responses to the question “What has been your experience with sexism in medicine?”... everyone should read every... single... word.

#medtwitter this is happening in YOUR HOSPITALS! To your Med students, residents, nurses. They are being groped, touched, and harassed. This is INSANE! We need change. Now.

This was from a TRAINEE. Who was told this by an ATTENDING. I could throw up.

I have literally THOUSANDS of responses from women in medicine, from med students, to nurses, to residents, fellows, attendings. TRAINEES are experiencing groping by male attendings & upper level residents. Nurses are being sexually harassed.

Anyone who thinks sexism in medicine isn’t an issue has their head in the sand. I cannot believe the “prestigious” institutions that these women have experienced horrendous disgusting sexist treatment. It’s happening EVERYWHERE. And it’s vile. And it has to end

What might be one of the most horrifying and heart breaking responses- is one from a trainee in a US hospital. This is a nightmare.

responses from female medical students and nurses are unreal
