I don't understand what you mean by equipment which is too costly, advancements in the medical world save more lives.
Many female surgeons who have no debt are electing to end their medical careers in their mid thirties. These women were given opportunities over and above males of whatever race and ability simply because of gender. The biggest problem I'm aware of today is the government's desire to force those who accept government loans to specialize in specific areas and upon graduation to work forty hour weekly jobs for five years in those areas as government employees.
As I said in earlier posts, I'm looking at other systems to see if I can learn anything useful. I am not aware that women doctors in France retire early. Maybe it's true but noone has told me about the problem.
