- I love the way people in this newsgroup love to generalize from an
- N of one to all of medicine, or of mankind. I know of many insensitive,
- uncaring FEMALE physicians, but I would not dare to say that "Sensitivity
- seems to be a practical impossibility for the majoriy of female MDs."
- These sweeping generalizations hinder communications here and serve
- to start the flame wars that some of us are tired of.
