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!
