Surgery as a greedy job: The valorization of the worker's professionalism for women in surgery

Sustainable and flexible working hours could represent a valuable opportunity to attract future generations into surgery. This is particularly important for the recruitment of women, who historically have more frequently faced the negative consequences of greedy jobs. Technology might be in the future of aid to overcome space and time constraints, always with the goal to protect rest time, personal life, and mental and physical health, from a perspective we might call "anti-greed".

Abstract

Sustainable and flexible working hours could represent a valuable opportunity to attract future generations into surgery. This is particularly important for the recruitment of women, who historically have more frequently faced the negative consequences of greedy jobs. Technology might be in the future of aid to overcome space and time constraints, always with the goal to protect rest time, personal life, and mental and physical health, from a perspective we might call "anti-greed".
