Insane! I’m sorry someone said this to you. Being a parent is all about being a good human who can interact in a loving way with people who may not be acting so loving towards you. And about saying sorry when you mess up. This is exactly what all leaders need to do.
Today I had a preceptor say: “It is my opinion that females in medicine cannot become department chairs or deans and also have a family. Doing both well is not possible.”
I’m proud to be a woman in medical school, but sometimes it can feel so discouraging 😔
