It's Victoria's Secret, But Letter Gives a Hint December 16, 2004 - Associated Press London - A newly discovered letter written by Queen Victoria has raised mor speculation about an age-old question: Did she have a love affair with her Scottish male servant John Brown? The letter, written after Brown's death in 1883, talks of "her present unbounded grief for the loss of the best, most devoted, of servants and truest and dearset friends." The letter was written to Viscount Cranbrook that March, was just discovered in an archive at the Suffolk Record Office. Queen Victoria, who usually wrote about herself in the third person, said: "Perhaps never in history was there so strong and true an attachement, so warm and loving a friendship, between the Sovereign and servant as existed between her dear faithful John Brown. Strength of character, as well as power of frame-the most fearful uprightness, kindness - combined with a tender warm heart - made him one of the most remarkable men who could be known." The letter also says: "And the Queen feels that life for the second time is become most trying and sad to bear deprived of all she so needs. Victoria's 1883 letter was published in History Today magazine. Her relationship with Brown was the subject of much gossip after the death of her husband, Prince Albert in 1861. John Brown became Queen Victoria’s personal field-servant and close companion. He served her faithfully for twenty years after Prince Albert died. The Queen and Brown were inseparable and did not try to conceal their friendship. Brown went everywhere with the Queen and even slept in the room next to hers. Their close friendship caused rumors about a secret marriage and other gossip about them spread throughout England and was referred to as "Victoria's stallion." The majority of the people of England disapproved of their relationship and Queen Victoria’s popularity declined. The scandal eventually faded after time and the people of England began to accept John Brown’s relationship with the Queen. Brown was a handsome man five years younger than the Queen, became the most important person in her life after her husband died and remained her confidant for nearly 20 years. At one point Brown even saved the Queen from an attempted assassination and was recognized as a public hero. After Brown died the Queen erected a statue of him at Balmoral. Their unusual relationship was the focus of the 1997 file "Mrs. Brown," starring Judi Dench and Billy Connolly.

Increase in Women Doctors Changing the Face of Medicine Physicians are More Patient Friendly, but Salaries are Dropping and the MD Shortage is Getting Worse By Ronald Kotulak, Tribune Science Reporter Chicago - With Women becoming doctors in ever-increasing numbers, medicine is generally becoming more patient friendly, treatment is improving and malpractice suits become less common experts say. But, they add the Feminization of medicine is helping to lower physician salaries, encourage part time doctoring and exacerbate a looming shortage of physicians. The change in the medical profession has been swift and dramatic. Since 1975 the percentage of Female doctors has nearly tripled, from 9% to 25%. And the wave is far from cresting: 38% of doctors under age 44 are Women, and half the students in US medical schools are Women, a change that is expected to intensify. Already, Women have taken over some specialties, such as pediatrics, and they are swarming into internal medicine, primary care , psychiatry, dermatology, and obstetrics and gynecology. The trends are setting in motion dramatic changes that are already affecting both patient care and the profession of doctoring. One result is a patient doctor relationship that is more empatheic, compassionate and nurturing.
