[Perspectives] A day in the life of a surgical intern: women in surgery

I wake up moderately rested for another day of work as a surgical intern, a first year resident doctor learning to care for patients. I mentally prepare myself for the day ahead. Morning rounds, ward management, clinic appointments, and perhaps I'll be able to squeeze into an operating room. Despite my planning for the day, I dwell mostly on my apprehensions about my abilities. Are my patients stable enough? Is my prioritisation of tasks safe and efficient? Am I learning enough? Am I good enough?
