I thank Adler and Adler for their comment on my editorial on suicide by health care professionals.1 Their proposal of “redressing sexual inequalities in medicine and eliminating sexual harassment” appears to be encompassed in my statement about “ensuring good workplace relationships and equal opportunity [and] eliminating bullying”,1 which they quote in their letter.
