ie Lefty relic.
My daughter experienced this sort of attitude from Consultants when doing her surgery training. They always gave priority to the male. Luckily for her the 'boy' kept collapsing so she got to do the surgery. She is now slices up human ring pieces, so I dont really get the value for money thing.

Of course fewer women should be trained as doctors......it being illogical and cost inefficient....Madness! total madness!
Let me say from the outset that there are very many competent female Consultants, indeed many are friends of mine, one, was the first female Neurosurgeon to be appointed in the UK.
In the 60's about 20% of women were being trained in the UK but now it is argued that more than 50% of medical students will be women.
Madness!
75% of Paediatric trainees are ..WOMEN. There is a danger of paediatric wards closing because so many are on Maternity leave OR are leaving to work part time
60% of GP's are women.........and this is suffering the same fate.
More and more women are coming into medicine, in some medical schools over 60% are women. Women tend to look for "family friendly" jobs..e.g "Well Baby Clinic" or "Public Health" post....few go for the "front line jobs"....Medicine, Surgery, Obs Gynae and Casualty.
T cover this "female shortfall in work load" one needs to train two female doctors to cover the load of one full time male.
Women who have received expensive medical training and then gone part-time are a burden on the NHS.
I have indeed more to say, but enough is enough and I agree fewer women should be admitted to medical school.
One interesting feature that I have mentioned two or three times now, but not picked up, is that women seem to be the predominant sex in the "banner waving, save our NHS " brigade. Are women doctors more abrasive than male doctors in the field of Politics?

If we accept this in the medical profession, couldn't the same argument be made for every public body?
The police, the armed services, the judiciary...?
What about the young women training to become GPs, surgeons, anaesthetists or consultants who have no intention of going part time to raise a family? We'd be short-changing ourselves of a talent pool based on the idea that they might want to stay at home, rather than organising child care when their salaries permit it.

sp.......yes, you could argue that for those bodies, but the question heading is about " doctors".
As far as I am aware, the Armed Forces and the Police do not have a problem with understaffing.....as far as i am aware. As for the Judiciary, this is not a public sector institution and have and would resist any attempt at privatisation, leading to any shortfall in "members."

Fine.......no problem with that at all.......but the facts are not born out when one looks at the whole or bigger picture.
