Girls Rule, Boys Drool

Yesterday, I walked into a patient's room and one of the first things he asked me was, "How do men feel about you being in medicine?" Trying to be polite, I said, "There are lots of women in medicine." That's all. I wish I would have thought of something really quick and witty, but it just didn't come. What a punk! How do you think women have felt about having men as their doctors for so many years? Huh? That's all I have to say. :-)

I've got the BEST come back for you when you get stuff like that. Pull a Your Mom -- you can NEVER go wrong with a Your Mom.

"How do men feel about you, a woman, being in medicine?"

(Snotty look.) "Your MOM's a woman."

Problem solved.
