Sažetak
Humanity and altruism are deeply imbedded in every human being. Therefore all the professions that deal with helping other people have always been particularly valued and appreciated. The decision to become a doctor ever since ancient times has always been considered extremely noble, for it requires a lot of sacrifice and dedication. All the civilizations considered the people who chose to become doctors as noble individuals and they were positioned on the top of the social list. So this profession not only united the best human qualities and personal satisfaction in providing help for the others, but also assured a high social status. Even though in the past, for the reasons mentioned above and also for the simple fact that the education required was much more accessible to men, male doctors outnumbered the female colleagues by far. Nowadays with the changes in the society and the emancipation of women, more and more women decide to take the challenge and chose this profession. Another reason for this fact is the male need to reach the high leading positions and high places in the today’s society as quickly as possible so they tend to choose different professions (for example managerial positions) to achieve their goals. Being naturally more patient and hardworking, women are more willing and ready to progress in a slower and more systematic way without expecting immediate results. Because of the increasing number of women who chose the medical profession, it’s becoming more and more a “female” profession which certainly adds quality to it. Moreover, the responsibility of women in the society also because of the additional role they have, that is, being mothers at the same time, makes it harder, but also for this reason the choice of the medical profession is more based on the humanity and sensitivity than the status that it brings.
