Knowing what I know now, would I still choose O&G?

Yes …And a big part of that is how many different sides there are to it.

People don’t always come to you because they’re unwell. Sometimes they’re excited, expecting a baby and sharing some of the happiest moments of their lives with you.

Other times, they come with uncertainty, loss or something they’ve struggled with for years. You get to care for women at so many different stages of life, and those conversations can mean just as much as anything you do in theatre.

Then there’s the mix of medicine and surgery. The clinics, the scans, the procedures, the deliveries. So many different ways to use your brain and your hands 😂

It’s a demanding specialty, and I’m still finding my feet. But there’s so much within O&G that reminds me why I chose it.

Would you choose your specialty again? 👀

~ also find it fitting this is being uploaded on the first day of ST3 🥺

I run 3 times a week because that’s what fits alongside work, lifting and having an actual life 😂

Usually Monday is easy, Wednesday is speed and Saturday is my long run. But if work changes, those days move.

Having a plan helps. Treating that plan like it’s legally binding does not.

Some weeks I get all three done. Other weeks I adjust. I’m aiming for something I can keep doing, rather than a perfect week I can never repeat.

How many runs actually fit into your week?

Reg Risquet has a ring to it… 🥹🤣

A whole year of ST2 done. I’ve learnt a lot about O&G, about myself, and about how much the people around you matter.

Honestly, I’m terrified 🤣 The imposter syndrome is still very much there, but I’m looking forward to learning on the job, asking plenty of questions and taking it one day at a time.

Still plenty to learn, but proud of how far I’ve come.

Next stop: O&G registrar 👩🏽‍⚕️✨

My current back workout ✨

I think back training can get overlooked, especially when so much women’s fitness content focuses on legs and glutes.

But building strength across your whole body matters. A stronger back helps with everyday lifting and carrying, as well as what you do in the gym. (nhs.uk)

It can also help support posture. Strengthening the muscles that hold you upright can be useful, although no single workout will automatically “fix” how you sit or stand. (pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov)

For women, there’s also the longer term benefit of resistance training for bone health. We’re more likely to develop osteoporosis, and bone loss speeds up after menopause. Training your back is one part of building and maintaining strength across your whole body as you get older. (nhs.uk, niams.nih.gov)

You don’t need a complicated routine. A few exercises you can do consistently and gradually make more challenging is a good place to start.

Personally, getting stronger is what keeps me coming back. And let’s be honest… also because it’s sexy

Unfortunately, I haven’t moved on from this. And some of the comments on my last post show exactly why we need to keep talking about it.

Men still having the audacity to justify the unjustifiable. Finding excuses, blaming women, making it about themselves.

If your first instinct is to defend your mates rather than care about the woman harmed, ask yourself why.

Women are exhausted. Men, have this conversation with each other too.

As a woman, an O&G doctor… actually, as just a freaking HUMAN, this makes me feel sick to my stomach and brings tears of rage to my eyes.

The Cornell lawsuit describes Jane Doe being drugged, 🍇ed and spoken about in a fraternity group chat as though her body was something to offer around.

How sick is this?

The figure circulating online is 57 men in that chat. I haven’t independently verified that number, but it raises horrifying questions: who saw those messages? Who encouraged them? Did anyone try to help her?

Yes, some people will say, “Not everyone reads a group chat.” But that cannot be where this conversation ends. We need answers about who knew what and what they did about it.

Anyone who participated in, encouraged or knowingly helped facilitate the alleged assault needs to be investigated and held accountable. This cannot stop at the people accused of physically assaulting her.

The lawsuit’s claim that essays could be used to mitigate their conduct is 🐤ing disturbing.
The thought of a reflection being part of the response to allegations this horrific makes my stomach turn. GIVE ME A BREAK

Cornell says essays were not the only consequence and that suspensions and expulsions occurred. But university discipline cannot replace criminal accountability where crimes are established. The criminal investigation has now reopened, and we need to keep speaking about this.

As if all of that wasn’t enough, one of the accused is reportedly pursuing medicine. That really hits home too.

“Do no harm” cannot just be words. And academic achievement cannot be a shield from accountability.

Patients trust us with their bodies, their fears and some of the most vulnerable moments of their lives. That trust comes with a huge responsibility.

I get asked why I chose O&G over surgery, especially when I talk about how much I love operating.

The honest answer is that I wanted surgery, but I also wanted the medicine, ultrasound, clinics, emergencies and obstetrics. I liked that I couldn’t picture two days looking quite the same.

And women’s health mattered to me. I wanted to be in a specialty where listening to someone, taking their symptoms seriously and helping them understand their options could make a real difference.

O&G still tests me plenty 😂 But would I choose it again? Yes.

If you’re torn between O&G and another surgical specialty, what’s making the decision hard for you? 👇🏽
