@dralexandravolo: Because I don’t look like the “average doctor”… some people assume I’m not the doctor at all. At a recent business meeting, an older physician assumed Dr. Volo ❤️ was my husband. Even after introductions… he kept directing the entire conversation to him — while I was the reason we were there. This isn’t rare. This is what many women physicians experience every single day. Let’s be clear — I didn’t go to modeling school. I went to medical school. Yes, I’m a young woman. Yes, I take pride in how I present myself. And yes — I am highly trained, intelligent, and deeply committed to my patients. Competence doesn’t have a “look.” Authority doesn’t have a gender. Professionalism is not defined by someone else’s assumptions. If you’ve experienced this too… comment “women.” Let’s talk about it. #womenphysicians #femalephysician #womeninmedicine #medschool #relatablequotes
