IN Dae Jang Geum,the status of female doctor is lower than t

Dae Jang Geum is a popular Korean drama, which is usually known as "Jewel of the Palace" in English.
The story is set against mediaeval Korea, where women had a much lower status than men in all aspects of life. So it is not surprising to find that the female doctors depicted in the drama enjoy much fewer rights and less respect than their male counterparts.
It is no longer the case in modern world. Medical practitioners are respected by society disregarding their sexes.
