I realized today marks four years since I walked away from medicine for what would end up being a year. I didn’t have a plan. I was terrrified. But I knew I had to make a change (what would turn out to be many changes). Eventually, I figured some things out and wrote about that here:

#physicianburnout #MedMastodon #womeninmedicine #selfcompassion #changeispossible

https://jenniferlycette.com/5-lessons-learned-when-left-medicine-for-year/

It took me almost twenty years to write this.

If I can help even one other woman by sharing my story, it will be worth it.

Postpartum depression is real. And there is help.

Nothing says you’re a middle aged woman like still being called a “kiddo” by your boomer patients but a “boomer” by “kids” on instagram 😂🤷‍♀️

"I said, that's sick, you can't talk to me like that. And I was punished"
"I was afraid I wasn't going to be hired again"
"I was called 'difficult' and 'a nightmare'"

This is from Hollywood, but it might as well be #healthcare.
#WomenInMedicine hear this same script all the time.
#Misogyny

I wrote a #feminist medical thriller bc I wanted people outside of medicine to know the struggles we face as women #physicians.

Working up the courage to say "no" to something that will just add a lot of unnecessary stress to my life and schedule, and only benefit the people who asked me; and who asked me because they're in a bind, and not because they truly have my best interests at heart. So why is it still so hard to say no?

I wonder why someone from Toronto who lives in Florida would be so obsessed with a family doc or trustee in #Ottawa that they’d use my photo for their profile and quote tweet every post. What drives him? Bizarre. And he says he’s complaining about me to the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario. I must be doing something right. #WomenInMedicine #WomenInPolitics

For anyone else enjoying #ThePower on Amazon Prime, I'm just going to mention that my I wrote my #speculative #thriller with a female-centric cast of characters to examine the near-future possibilities of #AI in #healthcare through a #feminist perspective (but sadly, I didn't think to give them superpowers like the brilliant Naomi Alderman did. Maybe the next book!)
