I think there are a great many female doctors in Quebec. In fact, they make up the vast majority in the new Quebec cohorts. Personally, I teach a lot of women who want to become family physicians or nurse practitioners. What's happening right now in Quebec is really quite incredible.
I have to say that it's the same worldwide, not just in the U.K. We saw this last year at a meeting of the expert panel of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or FDA. There were about 10 experts in hormone therapy from various disciplines. They included orthopaedic surgeons, internists, cardiologists, gynecologists and urologists. They said that the situation was based more on medical dogma than evidence. Women were truly frightened by the misinterpretation of the Women's Health Initiative study, which, incidentally, is an excellent study.
The problem isn't the study itself, it's that it was overinterpreted or misinterpreted, which had disastrous consequences for women. We witnessed a kind of spectacular regression of women's rights.
