it's much tougher for women to get to consultant level than men in any field and b.) a lot of women don't go for obstetrics / gynae because it has very anti-family hours (ironically). Midwife numbers are under pressure for a similar reason - high stress and irregular hours.

Read More »because it is a surgical speciality. Surgical specialities are less compatible with family life, not only during training but also when you are a consultant - an obstetric consultant will be called in for emergencies at any time during the day or night throughout their career wheras a GP for example only has to do a few years in hospital then if they so choose they will never work a night or a weekend ever again. It's harder to go part time in a surgical speciality than jobs such as general medicine because often elective operating lists will be only on some days of the week - if the prolapse repair list is on tuesday and you only work mon, wed and fri because you are also bringing up a family, you will never get good at operating on prolapses (very simplified but hope you can see what I am getting at) I get so annoyed at people who think that men go into obs and gynae because they get a sexual thrill from looking at womens bits/intimidate women or whatever the hell else gets posted on here sometimes. ( I also get pissed off that people think I am a paediatrician because I am a girl who likes playing with babies (I am training to be a paeds intensive care doctor -most of my patients are unconscious and ventilated so it's not really that fluffy!)) Doctors choose their speciality based on what they are good at, what kind of career they want (hands on vs office based), what they are interested in the pathology and physiology of. As it happens, although there are a lot of men in O&G as it is a surgical speciality, I think there are proportionally more female O&G surgeons than there are female surgeons in other specialities, that's certainly the case in my experience though I have no stats to back it up

A pork loin chop provides a lesser amount, but is still a good source at 2.1 milligrams, which is nearly 20 percent of the DV.
Many of your important body processes require zinc. This essential mineral is needed for DNA synthesis, wound healing, blood clotting, immunity, metabolism, and growth. Your ability to taste and smell also relies on zinc. Zinc is an essential mineral, which means that the body has to obtain it from our diet because it cannot manufacture it, explains Amandeep Kalsi, RD, MPH, a registered dietitian in Los Angeles. When you consume the recommended daily amount of zinc, all the body functions mentioned above are able to work at their best. The Daily Value (DV) is 8 milligrams of zinc, increasing to 11 milligrams for pregnant and breastfeeding mothers because "you need it for yourself and to develop the fetus," Kalsi says. Zinc is a trace mineral, so our body only requires small amounts. That also means zinc deficiency is rare, especially if you're eating a variety of foods, says Janice Chow, RD, registered dietitian and founder of nutrition counseling service The Mindful Chow. But vegetarians, pregnant women, people with digestive disorders like Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis, or those with chronic alcohol misuse are at higher risk for having inadequate zinc intakes. Individuals in these categories would need to tap into the food sources richest in zinc and might sometimes require a zinc supplement.
