Rebecca Douglass emphasizes the importance of her maiden name in preserving her professional legacy as a surgeon, highlighting her hard-earned accomplishments in medicine.
She states, 'When someone asks me why I kept my maiden name, I inform them that my husband didn't go to medical school - I did.' This reinforces her commitment to her identity and achievements.
The decision was also practical: 'It would be quite difficult to change my last name when I had already completed multiple research studies... that would then not be easily searchable.'
Her husband was supportive of her choice, even offering to take her name, showing their mutual respect for her professional identity and legacy.
