| Women in medicine
I wholeheartedly agree. I've been going to a women endo since '97 and she completely straightend my diabetic mess out. I think in a big way because she was so caring as an invidiual (as opposed to male dr.'s who didn't seem to care wahta was going to happen past the office visit). She got me started on the pump, stayed in contact with me by 'phone after a major surgery to be sure I was ok, etc.
Having a knowledgeable endo that cares is the next most important member of your management team after yourself.
