Dr. 塔米·罗文一直都知道她想成为一名十大赌博平台排行榜. She grew up surrounded by family members who worked in health care, 所以你可以说这是她的血液.
十大赌博平台排行榜问&A:塔米·罗文
Today she's an obstetrician and gynecologist at UCSF caring for women with sexual health concerns, 残疾的人, 癌症和慢性疾病, and those seeking gynecologic surgery or family planning help.
Rowen performs minimally invasive gynecologic and open surgery, in addition to office procedures for general gynecologic problems, 包括异常出血, 肌瘤, 发育不良和附件肿块.
She has conducted several national and international studies on women's sexual health, as well as family planning research and clinical projects in Mozambique, 安哥拉和北美.
你是怎么决定从医的?
I'm lucky in that I had a lot of exposure to various health-related fields through my family. I saw nursing, psychology, public health as a child — and saw examples of women in scientific fields.
起初我以为我会成为一名社会学家, but in high school I realized I was quite good at chemistry and biology. It then became clear to me that not only did I love people and interacting with them, 我热爱科学.
你最后是怎么选择做妇产科十大赌博平台排行榜的?
我16岁的时候第一次看到送货, 多亏了我的继父(也是妇产科十大赌博平台排行榜), 谁让我和他一起去送货的.
我一直都知道这是我想做的. In medical school, I played around with a few different fields, but everything led me back to OB-GYN. When I finally did my obstetrics and gynecology rotation, I was so excited. I wanted to stay up all night long and deliver babies.
Was your family always on board with your career goals?
不太. 我父亲做家庭医学. He abandoned Western medicine and does only alternative medicine now. So he has strong feelings about the way the medical community treats diseases and illnesses.
My mother was a nurse practitioner who later became a psychologist. She always thought I would make a great psychiatrist and lobbied for that.

Was there anything that made you nervous about becoming a doctor?
During medical school people warned me that the field of medicine can be filled with some "not-nice" people. I thought, "If more good people don’t go into this, we are going to perpetuate the problem.“我不愿意被人这么说，因为我是个好人, 我不太适合这个领域.
其实我想过要成为一名助产士, but I realized that I didn't want to have to call a doctor if something goes wrong; I wanted to be the doctor. 我想做剖腹产手术.
You have an interest in disability studies and you treat many women with 残疾的人 for gynecologic problems. 这是怎么发生的?
I got interested in the field after working at a camp for kids with 残疾的人 and taking a class that looked at the medical model of 残疾的人. I learned that we sometimes actually pathologize things that might not need to be; one example is deafness.
How much time do you spend delivering babies versus doing gynecologic surgery and everything else?
我几乎百分之百是临床十大赌博平台排行榜. I operate one day a week; do labor-and-delivery call twice a month; and see patients the other days. 当我随叫随到接生的时候, 我可能会做一些意外剖腹产, 一个月大概有五次剖腹产.
你希望你有更多的分娩时间吗?
我目前的日程安排是一个很好的组合. 我是一个新妈妈, 所以过夜很难, but I definitely would miss delivering babies if I couldn't.
What is different these days is that I often miss out on the "fun stuff" like active labor support and helping a woman push, 因为我们的助产士在处理很多基本的, 简单的交付.
The other night I was on call and there was no midwife, 所以我和这位母亲推了三个小时, 我很喜欢. It's very satisfying because you can really get babies born.
你自己的劳动有什么让你吃惊的吗?
甚至在我分娩之前, I was surprised that I had a lot more anxiety than I anticipated, in part because I've seen all the things that can go wrong. 我的前三个月也很艰难, so I do have so much more understanding for how women feel during that time — the nausea and vomiting, 特别是.
因为我自己怀孕的起起伏伏, 我只是接触了更多的东西, from the fear of having a preterm baby to scares with ultrasounds and genetic issues. 它确实提高了我作为十大赌博平台排行榜的能力.
人们对妇产科十大赌博平台排行榜有什么误解吗?
当涉及到产科, the hardest thing for me is the pressure that women put on themselves to have a "natural" birth, 不管这对他们意味着什么. So much stock gets placed in your birth story that it can be traumatizing for women who don't have a textbook, 理想化的劳动故事.
I know very well that there's a whole historical precedent for women wanting to take back control over their births. But sometimes it makes me sad when a woman doesn't have the birth she wanted and that weighs on her even though both she and her baby are very healthy in the end.
如果你不是十大赌博平台排行榜，你会做什么?
I just know I would have done something in health care — something with people, 也许是个心理十大赌博平台排行榜.
现在在你的领域有什么特别让你兴奋的?
鉴于我的专业领域是性医学, I am excited that we are finally talking about sex as a women's health issue. While some of the new drugs that are coming might not fix everything, they are helping bring sexual health out of the shadows.
很长一段时间, 妇科十大赌博平台排行榜不知道如何帮助女性, 或者在很多情况下甚至和他们谈论这些事情.
It used to be mostly urologists who handled sexual health because it was only men who sought help, 默认情况下，一些女性也会求助于泌尿科十大赌博平台排行榜.
But that is not who most women are going to talk to about these issues. They see their gynecologist, and gynecologists need to ask the question! When I ask patients about sex, they very often have something to address.
你不工作的时候都做些什么?
我喜欢旅行，我很喜欢户外活动. I was born in Anchorage, Alaska, and spent every summer there until I was 20. Whenever I can, I do a lot of hiking, swimming and yoga. 非常典型的旧金山湾区的东西!
