As a doctor, I once faced a patient's situation that made me re-examine gender issues in the medical field. This story is about a female patient who, during a gynaecological examination, suddenly lost control of her emotions and asked me to leave the examination room immediately.
At this moment, I began to wonder if there was some unspeakable disease or other problem that caused the situation.
However, when I tried to communicate with her, my answer left me shocked and speechless. My name is Zeng Xia, a 29-year-old single doctor who accidentally became the male attending doctor of gynecology in this hospital. While many people find it awkward, I never felt anything wrong with my career choice.
For me, I'm just a doctor with my own responsibilities and work ethic, and gender isn't my focus. I have always focused on providing the highest level of medical care, always putting the health of our patients first.
Although in terms of relationships, I briefly tried to be in love, but it ended up and I have remained single ever since. My job became my focus, and I found it difficult to find a woman who would accept me into a job in gynecology. This led me to take a "casual" attitude towards relationship issues.
It was the first time I had been in this situation in five years, and I began to reflect on what made her so excited. I tried to communicate with her, tried to calm her down and solve the problem in a rational way. Eventually, I understood that she was emotional because I was a male doctor.
She thought that the field of gynecology should be handled by female doctors, which made me feel embarrassed and speechless.
Later, I discovered that the patient had this misunderstanding because my name, Zeng Xia, had some feminine features, and she didn't notice the photo and gender cue at the registration desk in a hurry. Although this is only an isolated case, I have come to realize that in order to avoid similar misunderstandings and embarrassments, we should ask patients when registering if they care about the gender of the doctor.
In conclusion, gender issues still exist in the medical field, but we should strive to provide the best medical care for patients, regardless of the gender of the doctor.
It is indisputable that the duty of doctors is to save lives and provide medical assistance. I hope more people can understand this and don't let gender become a barrier to medical care.

This experience made me reflect deeply on gender issues in the medical field and the communication between patients and doctors.
As a physician, our priority is to provide the best medical care to our patients, and gender should not be a barrier for either party.
Looking back at this patient, I began to understand that her doubts were not unfounded. Gender issues have always existed in the medical field, not only in patients' concerns about the gender of doctors, but also in the gender discrimination of doctors themselves. I've heard of female doctors who face gender discrimination and unequal treatment in male-dominated hospitals. This situation reinforces my belief that we need to break down gender stereotypes and provide a fair chance for all doctors.
In the process of continuing to provide medical care, I decided to take some steps to improve communication between patients and doctors. First, I ask patients at registration if they have special requirements or preferences for the gender of the doctor in order to be able to better meet their needs. This open-ended dialogue can help patients better understand the nature of medical care, rather than just focusing on the gender of the doctor.
In addition, I began to actively participate in gender equality initiatives within the hospital and called for more female doctors to join the field of gynecology to meet the needs of patients and break gender stereotypes.
The healthcare industry needs more diversity and inclusion, which will help provide more comprehensive care.
Looking back on this experience, I feel a great responsibility. As a physician, I will continue to strive to provide high-quality medical care to every patient, regardless of gender, while also actively participating in improving gender equality in healthcare. I believe that only by eliminating gender bias can we achieve true health equality and give everyone access to the medical care they need.
