A letter to today's Times newspaper, from a retired Doctor who writes;
"Sir,
this "snowflake generation" of young doctors, largely female and selected mainly on academic excellence, clearly did not do their homework.
Medical training and practice is brutal and demanding, with long hours, and bullying happens. Sexually inappropriate comments and actions do occur. It is stressful. All I can say is that if they want to make a success of this rewarding career then they should toughen up. Perhaps four A*s at A-level are not the answer to all the problems they will face.
Dr Peter Hilton
Consultant anaesthetists/intensivist 1986-2020; Haverfordwest."

It comes after a report that shows horrific levels of misogyny and criminality against female surgeons;
https://www.medscape.co.uk/viewartic...t-2023a1000lgd
"Around two-thirds of female surgeons have experienced sexual harassment from colleagues, and almost one in three has been sexually assaulted by a colleague, according to a new report, described as "harrowing" and "horrifying" by NHS Providers and the British Medical Association."
Where do you even start, when faced with a man who tries to excuse and normalise such behaviour?
