Letter: Doctor, doctor

Published 3 April 1999

From Robert Arndt

Since the female half of the two-doctor households mentioned in Feedback (6
March)
earns, on average, less money than the male—despite presumably
similar qualifications—I suggest that rather than referring to such
households as MD2s, they should be called Paradoxes.
