Duo Episode: A Conversation with the All In All On X Podcast | Dr. Adam Hogan

Dr. Paige Moorhead sits down for a conversation with Dr. Adam Hogan, host of the All In All On X Podcast, to have a candid conversation about gender bias, societal expectations, and family considerations on female surgeons. Dr. Paige delves into her journey as a female implant surgeon, her experiences in the field, and the challenges she has faced. Amongst the conversation, she emphasizes the importance of female representation in the field and the need for mentorship and support for aspiring female surgeons. The conversation delves into the experiences of female surgeons and the challenges they face in a male-dominated field. It explores the impact of gender on leadership, mentorship, and imposter syndrome in surgical professions. This was an opportunity, in having a male guest on the show, to ask perspective questions from a male who's been around female surgeons in aspects of training, mentorship, colleagues, and co-educator formats. The goal of this is to bring awareness to male colleagues as they begin to see more females on the surgical circuits. Awareness is the key first step to change.

Behind the Curtain: The Emotional Toll

The conversation delves into the emotional toll experienced by surgeons via the stress of making sure everyone around us feels safe at all times, especially patients. We have to hold ourselves together to provide empathy to our patients pending a life-changing surgery, even when behind the curtain, the day's schedule and staff support have fallen apart and our to-do list is growing relentlessly. As surgeons, experiencing this over the course of our career results in us developing essentially a defense mechanism against ourselves with supressing our own human needs and emotions in effort to ensure our patients and staff feel safe. The flip side of this is we suffer in silence, all while the emotional toll builds in the shadow of that suppression. This episode delves into normalization of the emotional toll in the healthcare profession. It highlights the challenges faced by surgeons, the impact of emotional suppression, and the need for recuperation and recovery. Additionally, for non-healthcare workers, it emphasizes the importance of understanding and acknowledging the emotional toll experienced by healthcare workers, as well as the resilience and fortitude required to navigate these challenges. This emotional suppression can result in misconceptions with how patients even perceive their surgeon. Take a listen behind the curtain to see the truth!
