Female Physicians, Is It Rare For Them To Care For Professional Sports Teams? - Dr. Weber (VIDEO)

Dr. Weber:

It’s uncommon. The tradition has been male physicians taking care of professional teams, but we’re breaking in as females and starting to take care of the professional male teams. Not uncommon for a woman to take care of a woman’s professional team, but less common for us to take care of male teams.
