I encountered something that I believe pertains to our class during a sad experience. This week, my daughter got very sick. We had to take her to the hospital and we had to spend the night. We were there for atleast 24 hours. During that time, we saw doctors, nurses, lab people, x-ray techs, and many others. I did not realize while we were there, for obvious reasons, but the people with the "higher" title, were men! The wonderful nurses were all very sweet and loving women. The doctors were intelligent, but very quiet, men. The x-ray techs were very PATIENT women who understood that my daughter was very scared. After the x-rays were developed they were sent to a man to be read. I could keep going, but the more that I think about it, the more I see a very common picture. It almost feels like the hospital was behind in times. I wonder now if it was just that shift or if woman just are still not in high positions there. If they are just not in higher positions I also wonder why? Do woman just not want to go to school for as long? Are they made to feel like they do not belong in those types of schools? It really has gotten the wheels turning and now I want to know more. The arrangement seemed to work. The atmosphere was great and my daughter was in very good hands. Does it really work though? I wonder how the women that work there feel? I wonder if they even notice????
