She was told to ‘go brunette’ if she hoped to be taken seriously as a doctor

Surgeons told Miss Yard she ‘must be here to make the sandwiches’

A surgical registrar said it was ‘nice to finally have something to look at across the operating table’

Fellow doctors routinely referred to her as a nurse even after she introduced herself as a student doctor

She was praised as a ‘good girl’ for answering questions correctly

A friend hoping to be an anaesthetist was told: ‘How do you expect to have children? You won’t be able to go parttime and stay home with the kids.’
