Women Enter a Previously All-Male Medical Field
Urology, the Purview of Randy Jokes and Dealing with Prostate, Now Draws Women

But now women are entering the field in big numbers, drawn by the challenges, female mentors and the fact that about half of the patients are women. The one population that seems to have a problem with the change is those men who are uncomfortable with a stranger from the opposite sex examining their privates. Hm, might women know something about that?
