Women in medicine pay a price--probably why they are less likely to rise to leadership. Balancing family like with work is not really the path to professional success. However, if me, I would prefer family to professional leadership.

I wish we had some statistics about that. I'm trying to think of a doctor I know, male or female, who doesn't have children.
Anyway, if more women are entering med school now, maybe there's more hope for the work/family balance in the future. Of couse, even if that's true, it will take time.
