Laura Shanner's first ref probably is to Fugh-Berman, since she mentions
this episode in her Nation piece.

I'm afraid I don't have the full references handy, but
here are a couple of things to follow up on for examples:
In the late 1980's-early 90's a female med student at Georgetown
Univ. (Washington DC) filed a lawsuit against the medical school for
refusing to allow her to do the urology/proctology clinical residency
component. The reason was that male patients would be uncomfortable w/ a
female physician, but male students were of course allowed to participate
in gynaecology exams.
There is an article in the Canadian Medical Assn Journal from
around 1995-97 (?) of a survey of how many female physicians report being
sexually harrassed by patients as well as colleagues.
good luck!

Subject: sexism
I am looking for articles dealing with sexism within the
medical profession. Can anybody think of any papers on this issue
offhand? I will do a search, but I was wondering if anybody remembered
any good articles or chapters.
Thanks,
Arleen Salles
