Female surgeons sexually assaulted while operating
Female surgeons sexually assaulted while operating
Trainees are being abused by senior male surgeons, a major analysis given to the BBC reveals.
Registered surgeons - men and women - were invited to take part completely anonymously and 1,434 responded. Half were women:
63% of women had been the target of sexual harassment from colleagues 30% of women had been sexually assaulted by a colleague 11% of women reported forced physical contact related to career opportunities At least 11 incidents of rape were reported 90% of women, and 81% of men, had witnessed some form of sexual misconduct
The 81% men stat, that’s emblematic that this isn’t being overstated. Sounds like a real shitshow. I’m not suggesting that men are more credible. Only that they’re less-likely to report the issue. If four out of five will admit that there’s a problem, holy shit. There’s a problem.
Question: Why do they refer to the surgery area as a theatre? Is it for entertainment purposes?
Maybe I'm an idiot, but I thought 'theatre' was for entertainment and surgery room was for medical surgery...
Theatre has two meanings (it seems), one of them being "a room or hall for lectures with seats in tiers". The idea is that above the "centre stage" there would be seating for other doctors to watch the surgery for education/research purposes.
Because surgery started out in literal theatres:

From the title, I immediately assumed it was the patient being whacked on on anesthesia drugs. Didn't even consider the doctors or other nurses. Damn... Do I have that thing where I just naturally trust figures of authority? 🤔
