The entire 'doctors" issue is a difficult one for a variety of reasons.

Perhaps the most important is that what constitutes a "doctor" in many countries is more akin to someone who is a technician with a 2-4 year college diploma, and not some exulted multi - year multi - tested pinnacle of academic achievement.

Many years ago, I remember reading that several European countries had in fact more female doctors than male doctors. However research showed that it was not because of any sort of conscious effort to balance things out, it was because being a doctor simply does not have the status it does in English speaking countries.....but that is yet another issue..
