Alicia Archer fights for France – Washington Midsummer Renaissance Faire – August 11, 2018 (and yes, in the rain) Photo by Douglas Herring

I love how genuinely battle-scarred her shield is

1. She’s so rad

2. I went to Renfaire this year, this very one on that very weekend in fact, and I’m glad there is photographic evidence (however blurry) of the dude who just showed up dressed as Geralt from the Witcher games

Our attending walked into the room wearing her white coat, name badge on, and introduced herself as the doctor. The patient continued to refer to her as nurse the entire time we were there, and when we left, asked when the “real doctor” was coming. This same attending had to stop wearing her (very conservative, knee-length) dresses/skirts because male patients would comment on her legs or try to touch them. An ophthalmologist friend was telling me that she won’t do slit-lamp exams with the door shut anymore because male patients have (more than once) groped her.

Racism is still a big problem, too. I have another friend who, just yesterday, was told by a patient something along the lines of “it’s a good thing you aren’t a doctor (he is) because your people are coming here and taking up all the doctor jobs.” And that was definitely one of the milder things I’ve heard patients say about race. They’re usually screaming slurs.

I’ve introduced myself as a doctor, discussed treatment options, and when I left, I heard the patient complain that she hadn’t seen a doctor at all.
