Doctors are in business. Period.

And, the guy who graduates last in his class is still called doctor.

I've met those whose test scores were not the best; yet, they had this instinctive way of diagnosing...and treating the real problem....along with the emotional by products that disease or disorders can include when symptoms manifest themselves.....and then there are the book learned idiots who can rattle off the words, but couldn't treat anyone if their life depended on it.

I've worked with both male and female docs and nurses....it depends on their ability to interact with humans and see beyond the 'gallbladder in room 3'....and see us as people with concerns and lifestyles and problems and other contributory factors.

Hell, those without insurance who have to go to the doc are automatically stressed out....stressors count and it behooves them to do a complete history and physical, not just look at us as breathing cadavers.
