A Very Controversial Topic

Hello!!!....am me again!! Today I will speak about one topic very interesting and controversial: Gender Role in Health Care.

Always has existed one big difference between the gender female and masculine in the area of the health professionals, for example: in the medical career have always been more men than women, on the contrary in the nursing and obstetric career have always been more women than men.

This situation has occurred, because some careers are classified as “careers for women and men’s careers”. This is the case of my career: Obstetrics and Child care is classified as a career for women, and although are many more the women working in this area, men also do.

The men that deciding work in this area are very few, but are excellent professionals like women. Women and men share the same responsibilities, newborn care and women, but the most of the male midwives, they choose the newborn care.

The most surprising is that although there are more female midwives, the male midwives are more quoted and requested that female midwives. Because many women say that they are more careful and kind.

On the wage issue is no difference between men and women, because this depends of the speciality and of the workplace, for example in a clinic the salary is far better that in a hospital.

No difference to me between women and men, to be midwife only you need to have vocation and the desire to care for women and the newborn.
