This is absolutely true. Over half of med school admissions are now female. A classmate of my daughter's, while still in med school, was already setting her sights on a position that would not require weekends, nights or being on-call.
My OB-Gyn is a female, and 3 of the past 7 years I have had to see a strange doctor because she's been away on extended maternity leaves of up to 4 months. Our next door neighbor, a female family practice doc, just left a busy office to join the staff of a university student health clinic where the hours are M-F 9-5.
This situation is bound to worsen, and the femi-nazi's aren't gonna like the fall-out.
because they are....
there's a growing trend to have hospitalists see patients admitted to the hospital....their own private care doctors don't want the hassle in seeing office and hospital patients, so getting rid of the hospital visits is a boon for them...
where I work, we have very few private doctors come see their own patients....
male doctors want the time off too...
