We welcome this important perspective on gender bias in medicine by DeFilippis.¹ We were struck by how much we can relate to the author’s anecdotes, both as attending physicians and as trainees: these experiences, though not novel, continue to be all too familiar.

DeFilippis describes instances of sexual harassment, disrespect, and lack of awareness of sexism by patients, colleagues, and supervisors. In our experience, these behaviors are not always limited to male supervisors. We know these problems persist despite decades of increasing female presence in the physician workforce.² Our goal in publishing this perspective is to highlight a shared and distressing female experience: to be a woman in medicine, whether in training or in a senior role, includes the unique challenge of facing sexist behavior from patients and even colleagues on a regular basis in an already stressful work environment. The impact of a cascade of small injustices that women physicians deal with every day undermines our daily work and collectively sends a demeaning message about our worth in the work place.

我们欢迎DeFilippis提出的有关医学性别偏见的重要观点。¹无论是作为主治医师还是作为受训者，我们与作者的轶事有多少联系，我们都为之震惊：这些经历虽然不算新颖，但仍然太熟悉了。

DeFilippis描述了患者，同事和主管进行性骚扰，不尊重和缺乏对性别歧视意识的实例。根据我们的经验，这些行为并不总是仅限于男性主管。我们知道，尽管数十年来女性在医师队伍中的人数不断增加，这些问题仍然存在。^2个我们发表这一观点的目的是强调共享和令人痛苦的女性经历：无论是在培训中还是担任高级职务，要成为医学界的女性，都包括面对患者甚至是同事定期面对性别歧视行为的独特挑战。已经很紧张的工作环境。女医生每天处理的一系列小小的不公正现象的影响破坏了我们的日常工作，并集体发出了关于我们在工作场所的价值的贬义信息。
