The increasing numbers of women in medicine in western societies has raised the issue about their impact on medical practice. As a way of addressing the issue, this paper explores women's position in medicine in the Nordic countries, where the medical profession will soon be gender-balanced. Support for both a ghettoization and a vanguard argument for women physicians can be documented. The final section offers three sociological perspectives--the socialization theory, the neo-Weberian, and the social constructionist--as theoretical explanations for the gender segregation of medicine and as diagnostic paradigms and potential heuristic devices to aid women's empowerment as medical providers.

AIMS: To explain the distinction between intentional and ontological care; to explain the distinction, within the category of ontological care, between deep care and identity constituting care and to show how the latter form of care is of relevance to nursing theory and practice. BACKGROUND: The idea of intentional care is familiar in much writing on care within nursing literature. Within Benner and Wrubel's book The Primacy of Caring, Stress and Coping in Health and Illness the idea of ontological care is exploited. But many interpret their claims on this topic as claims concerning intentional care. The present paper tries to clarify this misunderstanding. CONCLUSION: The notions of intentional and ontological care are each important within nursing theory and practice. But it is also important to understand how they differ. And it is equally important to appreciate how the idea of ontological care applies to nursing practice.
