"Culture change is really hard, but changing the culture in medicine and other industries to make it sort of normalized for the non-birth partner to take just as much time to sort of set the stage for a 50/50 partnership when it comes to the logistics of raising a child, which are substantial"
In our first episode I got to sit down and talk with my friend Dr. Susan McIlvaine who had her daughter when she was in her second year of cardiology fellow. Susan got pregnant during our chief year together at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center so I knew some of her story, but learned so much more when we recorded this interview. So join me in hearing all about Susan's:
- Perfect plans for how and when to get pregnant (spoiler alert - that didn't work)
- Miscarriage while at work
- Challenges coming back from parental leave
- Thoughts on what we can (and should) do better
