Abstract
I later had the privilege to converse with Dr Clara Wu again privately, as well as two other female EM leaders, namely Dr Eillyne Seow from Singapore, and Dr Rasha Buhumaid from the United Arab Emirates (UAE). I am inspired by these three women who are not just great female EM physicians, but great EM physicians and leaders who also happen to be females, and have beaten a few extra odds on the way. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ After completion of her Bachelor of Medicine and Surgery (MBBS) in UAE University in 2007, since there was yet to be a proper local EM training program, Dr Rasha Buhumaid traveled to Washington, DC, and underwent her 4-year EM residency training in George Washington University. On yet another chaotic day at the Accident and Emergency (A&E), as soon as I waved goodbye to the screaming toddler who was being ushered out of my clinic by his flustered parents, without missing a beat, my hand shot to the first file lying on top of a mountainous pile of unseen patient files.
