Walking Out On The Boys
Frances K. Conley, M.D.
Farrar, Straus and Giroux, $24
Fed up with the overt sexism practiced by the good ‘ol boys in medicine, Dr. Conley resigned her post as a full-tenured professor of neurosurgery at Stanford University with media hoopla and even a press conference during which she called a colleague a “sexist pig.” Here she tells her story of the gender bias she witnessed in a profession many sanctify and presume is above the discriminatory behavior she claims is common in medical schools, hospitals and clinics.
