I got nothing against women. I love women. Been married to one for going on 44 years. But realistically Medicine, and especially surgery just ain’t a field for women. I would not bar them but I would make sure from day one they realize what they are trading away. A guy can be a father and a resident but a female can’t be a mother and a resident. Gonna suck at one if not both.
A female physician just saved my daughter’s life. She detected something (congenital) a male physician never did.

I have talked with tearful MD females who realize they cannot have children and meet their responsibilities.
I am of the belief now that double docs or other high earning/educated marriages are not always great. Sometimes there needs to be someone whose dream it is to stay home and raise the kids. Of course in this no fault divorce world that person puts themselves at risk.
