Bundle Of Hers

Is the person who picked your fruits and vegetables okay? Do they have proper PPE? Does the worker who made the clothes you are wearing have access to the appropriate health care? Are they paid fairly? As consumers, we are often protected from having to think or worry about these questions. But the labor movement is interconnected to the practice of medicine, and as healthcare providers, we should be asking these questions. In S4E14, Margaux, Harjit, and Leen discuss the labor movement.

White feminism is harmful and creates division—striving for equality in an oppressive system is impossible. We should dismantle the gender binary and remove the idea that one has to be better than the other; open our minds to the notion that there is space for everyone... because we are powerful together. In S4E13, we discuss working towards overcoming white feminism to create an inclusive system for all.

Feminism is complex. Oxford dictionary defines feminism as, "The advocacy of women's rights on the basis of the equality of the sexes." But the trouble with this idea of feminism is, first and foremost, having to buy into a gender binary in which other oppressions, such as racism, are excluded. In their book review of White Women's Rights: The Racial Origins of Feminism in the United States, Alok Vaid-Menon concludes, "White women were more invested in privilege than equality, seeking the right to oppress others rather than imagining a more just world for everyone." In S4E12, we discuss the history of white feminism.

The assumed mindset is patients should be able to trust doctors because doctors presumably have more education. But placing doctors on an invisible pedestal can have negative connotations. The motion of elitism inhibits solidarity and creates barriers—barriers between each other, and our patients. Patients should not only be able to trust their doctors, but understanding and comfortably conversing about their health needs and concerns are equally, if not more, important. Concluding the conversation about elitism in medicine, in S4E11, Harjit and Leen discuss breaking away from elitism to provide better patient care.

The white coat is a symbol of elitism in medicine. There is a certain way doctors talk, and there is a certain way doctors dress. History has long placed doctors into the elite class—a group of individuals who may be of higher intellect, wealth, power, and/or special skills and experiences, and in return may have higher influence in society. But medical elitism can build barriers among those in the field of medicine and also with patients. In S4E10, Harjit and Leen discuss how elitism in medicine can affect patient care.
