As salam aleikum. I am a female medical student currently in the last year of my studies and will soon in sha allah become a doctor. I live in europe. I would specifically like to become a gynecologist and obstetrician which is a doctor for only women, both due to my interest in the field and avoiding contact with male patients. Unfortunately, in the very beginning, since i have no work experience, to be able to become a gynecologist i will need to work and train as a general nurse practitioner and take care of MALE and female patients (i.e, feed them, clean them etc) who have been living in a nursing home. Due to being a doctor in the west we are not given such an option to choose the things we can and can not do. One is obliged to take care of all patients despite their gender. Is it permissible for me to do this work? Please give me advice in this situation. Being a medical professional is my only skill set and this is my last year of studies.
