I just found out a medical student I spoke with back in 2018 about pursuing surgery will soon be training to become a surgeon! Another #hijabisurgeon in the making, Alhamdullilah!!!
It makes me so happy to see young trainees pursuing what they love. I feel their excitement and enthusiasm when they talk about their passions. I also sense their fear. Fear of the unknown, fear of the immense work ahead, fear of the extra scrutiny for being (fill in the blank).
In this case, this student had the same exact fears I had. Being a hijabi. Being a woman in a male dominate field. Wanting to have a family in a male dominated field. Surgery is hard enough enough as is. Why go through the trouble?
