Sexual harassment in medicine

"I would encourage you to see amazing women on social media for who they are in the future. Maybe figure out where they have been and what they are working toward. Maybe even figure out how ways to help each other solve the problems this country faces. Instead of looking at someone's appearance, listen to their story. You got unlucky with me; you can't intimidate someone who has lived through the war. I'm hoping that you choose to go in a more professional direction with the next woman you message because of these words. We are not transactions. We are intelligent, determined, passionate, and persistent people. It's far better to be our ally than our foe."
