. Set in New Zealand, the film tells the story of a surgeon, played brilliantly by Elizabeth Banks, whose resident, Richard, makes an error in the operating room. The subsequent fallout—tragic, political and sexist—pulls back the curtain on the gritty and unglamorous life of a doctor, the stressors of medical training and the emotional turmoil experienced by grieving families..
“Surgery is a great career and incredibly satisfying, especially when you see the immediate help you give patients and their families,” describes Jennifer Berumen, MD, a transplant surgeon at. “But when things go wrong, it can be devastating. It can be hard to remember the good things you have done.”
The reality is that doctors receive very little formal guidance on proper communication during their many years of medical and surgical training. Dr. Freitas agrees. Dr. Berumen has witnessed gender-based discrimination throughout her career. “People call me ‘honey’ , they comment on my appearance and ask if I’m pregnant.” She recalls male residents being invited to social events but not the female residents. The hepatobiliary surgeon also observed male attending surgeons sexually harassing female trainees. “One of my co-residents reported an incident, and no one believed her,” says Dr. Beruman.
