I've seen two peoples opinions saying that 'women doctors are best' and 'women should patronize women doctors'. This is ridiculous. Sex should not be the sole reason you choose a particular doctor. There are some VERY good men doctors in the world and I'm sure there are some very poor women doctors. Don't fall into the trap of generalizing and categorizing people based on sex alone - isn't that exactly the opposite of what we should be striving for? People should be assessed on their merits not strictly on their sex. Karen Summers-Horton
