As proactive, educated, women and nurses we speak for many. I had an experience in which I had a sternoclavicular fracture that occurred without trauma. This is unusual so needless to say, I was sent to an sports med orthopedic surgeon. I stayed in my place in the exam room and when it came time to look at my films, I joined him at the view box. His comment was, “only one of us is going to look at these films, me or you!” With that, I promptly removed my films and walked out the door. I also cautioned his staff not to send me a bill since there was no service rendered. I think if more women were able to be this proactive, the male physicians who are quilty of this type of behavior toward female pts may think twice. We do not have to patronize this dis-service.

I still can’t get over how we are disregarded in this way and it is so, so sad that I think so many women have come to internalize this for themselves. At this point I just hope more of us begin to speak out like this and try to teach others about the truth when it comes to our identities as women and taking charge of our health.
