[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Since women are now the majority in the college system, the majority of MD and JD recent graduates, those fields will all soon be female dominated. [b]As women become the majority, because all of those industries will cease to be able to perform their primary functions.[/b] We’ve already seen that, for example, in elementary education, where predominantly female teachers working under female principles and female-majority schoolboards cannot teach schoolchildren how to read, write, or do arithmetic.[/quote]

As a female physician, please just stop. We are routinely cleaning up after our arrogant male colleagues who can't get out of their own way, routinely get patient complaints, and have bad outcomes. This doesn't include the 4 male physicians removed from faculty at our local DMV trauma center for sexually harassing female nurses, all in the last 3 years:

"Older adults admitted to the hospital fare better if under the care of a female physician rather than a male physician. More specifically, the patients in this study were less likely to end up back in the hospital, or die, in the 30 days after discharge if cared for by female physicians than similar patients cared for by male physicians."

As a patient that pays attention, and one that works with physicians every day, it’s obvious to see.  I am a male and I refuse to see male doctors if I can help it.  I get way better personalized care this way.[/quote]

+1.  I see exclusively women MDs on purpose.   I’ve hit a couple duds, but the care is so much better. For example, they listen and don’t discount what I’m saying. They are more collaborative— willing to work with me to meet my health goals in a manner that works for me.  I’m really sensitive to new medications and tend to have side effects.  What are the alternatives to medication?  Diet and exercise?  Okay.  And you can refer me to an dietician?  That would be great.  And an exercise goal of X.  I can work on that. We’ll rerun the labs in there months and see if we need to reassess.  Done. Women MDs have this conversation. Men want me to do what I’m told and take the pill. Which I might need to do. But would prefer not to if I can.

Except my neurologist. I literally cannot find a female neurologist. [/quote]
