And I think that that really relates to what we value in women, in theory, but don't value financially.

And it relates to the unpaid labor that women do in so many households.

caring for their children, remembering the doctor's appointment, taking extra time to listen to those around them.

It translates into these doctor-patient hospital settings as well.

It's all interconnected and related.

And I think if we valued these more qualitative measures of what it means to be human, what it means to care for the next person, we would have a better society overall.

That's just a manifesto.

I don't know that I'm going anywhere with it.

I'm super hopeful.

I mean, I love my new job and I'm an oncologist.

It's kind of a Debbie Downer of a field, but I love my job.

I love the work that I get to do.

I love connecting with the patients that I do.

I feel like I have the time to do that now.

I get to meet incredible women like you.

And I feel like we are, despite the political landscape, changing our cultural narrative.

And that much like as the history of medicine has showed us, when you change the cultural narrative, you will change these institutions as well.

So I am very optimistic and thrilled that you had me on this show.

I am.

Yeah.
