Under The Gloss with Phoebe Burgess

The unspoken toll of becoming a surgeon


Listen Later

Have you ever spoken to your boss about egg freezing? What about when you’re planning to have children? For Dr Wendy Liu and Dr Joyce Yu, it’s these uncomfortable and deeply personal topics that have become the norm for themselves and other trainee surgeons. On this episode of Under The Gloss, the doctors join Phoebe to chat about the shame and guilt surrounding female surgeons and motherhood, and they explain why it’s near impossible for trainee surgeons to start a family. 

You can find more information on the study by Dr Wendy Liu and Dr Joyce Yu here.
