Docters

The medical field through out history has been occupied by one gender and one gender only. That gender has always been the males. Times are a changing, because there has been increases at the amount of females that have been entering medical school as well as the end product, female doctors have increase too. “Medical staffing could be nearing a crisis now that Britain, as well as Canada and the U.S., is producing more female medical school graduates than male” (http://www.businessweek.com/careers/workingparents/blog/archives/2008/04/women_doctors_w.html), this quite surprising because of the nature of females, one would think they could not afford to live like a doctor.

Yes the female is known as mother and has the maternal and nurturing instincts but yet they do not seem like enough for patients. The patients are still stuck on the classical conception of a middle-aged man with a white coat to be their doctor. “Society still expects women rather than men to reduce work commitments to look after children and not to return to full time work until the children are older…In addition, more female general practitioners plan to retire before the age of 60 than men, shortening their working life further”

Not to say this is bad, but when you are a doctor your number one priority should be your patients. It is great that now females can reach the same great attributes as males but females have their natural instincts they need to follow as well, so they really may not be cut out to live as a full time doctor, mother and wife. There would be too much to sacrifice for women.
