I told one of my new staff, a premed graduated, that it is ok for female to enter medicine but need to aim for working part time only. Yes, I am old and stubborn. To work part time, either to have lots of money, no medicine student loan, or our life partner makes more than enough then more money put into bank account won't bring in more satisfaction.
I'll pass that on to my spouse/partner, Walter. It's what she periodically tells me. Then we laugh, and go back to being doctors.
