00:00:04.440 - 00:00:41.470

mm hmm. Mhm, mm hmm. Friends thought they were happy and whose mothers in laws thought they were. And he then he studied them. The things that I think is most important in the this particular group of adept women

00:00:41.480 - 00:00:58.560

is that they have singular allegiances. They've either put their careers first or they put their family and marriage first. So that you would get women who um in the married group with Children who are perhaps having a career of limited ambition. They're working 20 hours a

00:00:58.560 - 00:02:27.360

week or 25. They're uh, they've slowed up their residency training program and they're very clear uh that their family and their Children come first on the other hand, you have women, who have. right? How are they doing? Well? You see these women as without supports.

00:02:27.360 - 00:02:52.930

Many of these women have husbands that are helping them and behind their careers. Many have found that by getting involved in meditation and running and just kind of having a small breaks, short vacations. This helps most of them. But sometimes mm hmm. Well remember that stress

00:02:52.940 - 00:03:11.680

is normal to all development and to be under stress. It's not necessarily the worst thing in the world that very often it brings out the best in the person, their resiliency. The possibilities for creative accommodations that I think that I would like people not to get

00:03:11.690 - 00:03:33.720

terribly panicky about it. It is an important social looking at women physician as a whole. Not just your group. How do they compare with male physicians on the incidents of breakdown suicide. Male physicians considerably higher. I think it's about three point about three times the the

00:03:33.720 - 00:03:49.450

expected rate for women. But what you must keep in mind is that women as a group commit suicide less frequently than men as a group. They may be more apt to attempt suicide, but they're less likely to complete the act. So one might say these women

00:03:49.450 - 00:04:08.260

have more competency for the act of suicide. They know how to do it and you're just shooting cutaways. This is the sociologists very you know, it's an excellent question. We don't know. These are women in their very early 30s and the effects of continuous strain on

00:04:08.260 - 00:04:27.710

their health is really unknown at this point. At this point, they're healthy devices and strategies. One is they try to erect some kind of support system. I think it's a problem, but it isn't always to be seen in a totally negative context. Yes, that's exactly right.

00:04:27.710 - 00:04:37.460

And I think my husband is a group. Perhaps two Children would be uh exemplary of that group so that they have made Quentin who are under strain
