{"product_id":"emotional-female","title":"Emotional Female","description":"Yumiko Kadota was every Asian parent's dream- model student, top of her class in medical school and on track to becoming a surgeon. A self-confessed workaholic, she regularly put 'knife before life', knowing it was all going to be worth it because it would lead to her longed-for career.\n\nBut if the punishing hours in surgery weren't hard enough, she also faced challenges as a young female surgeon navigating a male-dominated specialty. She was regularly left to carry out complex procedures without senior surgeons' oversight; she was called all sorts of things, from 'emotional' to 'too confident'; and she was expected to work a relentless on-call roster - sometimes seventy hours a week or more - to prove herself.\n\nEventually it was too much and Yumiko quit.\n\nEmotional Female is her account of what it was like to train in the Australian public hospital system, and what made her walk away.\n\nYumiko Kadota is a voice for her generation when it comes to burnout and finding the resilience to rebuild after suffering a physical, emotional and existential breakdown. This is a brave, honest and unflinching work from a major new talent.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1760894621\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: PKV.1760894621.A\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Yumiko Kadota\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: It's been through some chapters of life!
