Remember that medical schools probably still have on their faculties a bunch of crusty, aging men who don't believe that women can make good doctors. As a result, if a woman has in fact made it through med school despite that, she's likely to be pretty good, especially if (as in this case) she has elected to become not just a doctor but an internist. This may not be true in all cases, but my doctor is certainly very sharp and very well qualified. -- Jeff Sargent/...pur-ee!pucc-h:aeq
