In the past, medicine has been a field dominated by men with women acting as designated assistants. Men enjoyed a monopoly of the title of “Doctor” or “physician” while most women were relegated to being nurses. With strides in education and technology, women have been afforded the opportunity to pursue this discipline to the highest levels. In fact, today, it is reported that there are more women in the medicine practice than men.
