Hear it again: Defying the odds, one patient at a time
Back in October, Soundside host Libby Denkmann spoke with Seattle author and doctor Patricia Grayhall about her new memoir and her career as a physician.
Grayhall went to medical school in the early 1970s, when gender discrimination and homophobia were commonplace in the field.
Because of societal standards at the time, Grayhall was forced to hide her identity as a lesbian. She dealt with sexism from superiors and colleagues.
Grayhall talks to Denkmann about the pressures she faced, even as an intern.
