{"product_id":"9780595613205","title":"Women Aren't Supposed to Fly: The Memoirs of a Female Flight Surgeon","description":"When Harriet Hall graduated from medical school in 1970 and entered the Air Force, she was in a distinct minority. As the second woman ever to do an Air Force internship, she had to fight for acceptance. Even a patient's 3 year old daughter proclaimed, \"Oh, Daddy! That's not a doctor, that's a lady.\" She was refused a residency, paid less than her male counterparts, couldn't live on base, and couldn't claim her husband as a dependent because he wasn't a wife. After six years as a general medical officer in Franco's Spain, she became a family practice specialist and a flight surgeon, doing everything from delivering babies to flying a B-52. She earned her pilot's license despite being told \"Women aren't supposed to fly,\" and eventually retired from the Air Force as a full colonel.  She is witness to an era when society was beginning to accept women in traditionally male jobs but didn't entirely like the idea yet. A somewhat warped sense of humor kept her afloat, and it spices the stories she tells about her own experiences and the patients and colleagues she encountered.","brand":"iUniverse, Incorporated","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47123903119600,"sku":"9780595613205","price":6.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780595613205_p0.jpg?v=1763723565","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780595613205","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
