Too many women doctors 'will be bad for patients'....they are too lazy

http://whatmenthinkofwomen.blogspot.com/2008/05/too-many-women-doctors-will-be-bad-for.html

The "never criticise women" rears it's head again. Feminists have ensured that
the privileged princess should be the majority in every educational process
regardless on how lazy or self-posessed they are. Here is another example on the
total and complete selfishness of women.

But ofcourse we are not permitted to utter those words as they will hurt there
feeling. Meanwhile these women continue to screw up our health with their
neglect and laugh at the 1.6 million dollars it cost to put them through the
course and training. Women should be allowed to do anything they want according
to feminists and bugger the rest of humanity...

Ban women doctors, they do not deserve any support...





Too many women doctors 'will be bad for patients'
By JENNY HOPE 4th April 2008

Will women doctors become a majority?
Too many women doctors working fewer hours than men will ultimately result in
a major shortage of GPs, a leading specialist warns today.

Growing numbers of female graduates threaten to put men in a minority in the
profession, with serious consequences for patients, according to Brian
McKinstry, senior research fellow at Edinburgh University.

The unwillingness of women GPs to work unsocial hours played a part in the
ending of out-of-hours care by the vast majority of family doctors, he argues.

But part-time working, maternity leave and plans by many women doctors to
retire early will have even more "negative consequences" in future, writes Dr
McKinstry in the British Medical Journal.

He claims: "Too many female graduates are bad for medicine, just as too many
male ones have been in the past. The numbers of men and women entering medical
school should roughly reflect the numbers in society.

"The case for this is simply on grounds of equal opportunity. But there are
also strong economic and workforce planning reasons."

But, in a robust defence of women's role in medicine, Professor Jane Dacre,
vice dean of the faculty of biomedical sciences at University College London,
said the lack of women in top jobs remains a blight on the profession.

Also writing in the BMJ, she calls for more flexible working - which is
essential to providing good patient care - to benefit all doctors.

She adds: "Medicine needs and wants to attract the best and brightest people,
whatever their sex."

Despite outperforming men in medical exams, women are under represented in
some specialties and leadership positions.

Professor Dacre says: "This lack of career progression is not explained by
lack of academic aptitude.

"This is a strong argument for ensuring equality of opportunity in medicine,
rather than worrying about having too many women in medicine."

In 2002-2003, all medical schools had more female students than men - with the
proportion exceeding 65 per cent at some.

In primary care in some parts of the country, the number of women GPs exceeds
men and soon male doctors "will be in a minority", Dr McKinstry claims.

But child care responsibilities mean women doctors tend to work in "family
friendly" areas such as primary care and psychiatry, which makes these
specialties more vulnerable to difficulties caused by part-time working and
maternity leave.

Dr McKinstry says that as older male GPs retire, there is likely to be a major
shortfall in primary care doctors that could jeopardise continuity of care for
patients.

He adds that women doctors see fewer patients than men, partly because
consultations are longer, and they are more likely to send patients to
hospital - increasing pressure on hospital services.

Professor-Dacre said there is evidence that care by women doctors leads to
better outcomes for patients.

With the NHS soon moving to a 48-hour working week to comply with EU laws
there could be a chance to improve working patterns all round, she adds.

"Rather than focus on the detrimental effect of having too many female
graduates, the feminisation of medicine should be welcomed as an opportunity to
be creative with workforce planning and to recognise that a more flexible
approach is required to deliver good quality patient care at all times of the
day and night," she says.
