In 1974, 11% of the students graduating from medical school in the U.S. were female. In
1984 that proportion was close to 30%. While the majority of doctors in the United
States are still male, that pattern is changing with the new wave of medical students. But
will this fact make any difference to the medical profession? Are female doctors really
different from their male counterparts?
Traditionally nurses did the female jobs, such as taking care of patients basic physical
needs and helping people and their families to face illness. Meanwhile, doctors did the
aggressive part.
And now, along come the female doctors. While some of them insist that they are simply
equivalent to male physicians, others consider that they may have essential differences
and special advantages. They may lack brute authority, but they are more responsive to
patients.
While many patients may still be uncomfortable with the idea of women doctors, there are
many other people who openly prefer them. They say that women doctors are more
sensitive in general, easier to talk to, and less intimidating. In fact, the very novelty of
female physicians may be that they somehow do not seem like real doctors: they do not fit
the stereotype.
