Popis: | A young boy is on the way home from soccer when a driver hits his car head-on. His father dies immediately, but the boy survives. The boy is transported to the hospital and immediately rushed into the OR. The surgeon takes one look at him and says, “I can’t operate on this patient. He’s my son!” The riddle asks: If the father is dead, who is the surgeon? Struggling to realize that the surgeon is a mom highlights the depth of gender bias in medicine. |
