A month later, a kerfuffle erupted in Britain when The Independent ran the story, “The Medical time bomb: too many women doctors”, based on an interview with Professor Carol Black, President of the Royal College of Physicians. She raised concerns about risks to the medical profession’s power and influence because “too many female doctors were scaling its ranks. .. and action was needed to correct [a future] imbalance of the sexes”. Black also aired problems flowing from the skewed distribution of women in subspecialties and their reduced status and involvement in professional bodies, and stated that women find it impossible “to do all the things we expect a doctor to do to be at the top of the profession”.
