She's a gynecological model whose job is to help medical students become better doctors. This 60-year-old woman uses her body to teach fledgling doc tors the techniques and proce dures of women's health care, be lieving it's better for them to gain hands-on experience under her tutelage than with some unsus pecting patient. "I tell them, for starters, for goodness' sakes to warm the speculum/' the instrument used for internal examinations. Noble says. By the time the students and residents meet Noble, they al ready have practiced basic tech niques on rubber models. They have learned the basics of giving a pelvic exam, manually feeling for abnormalities; they know how to use the speculum. ^ But a rubber model can't tell a doctor how it feels. That's Noble's job. "I tell them, no, that hurts ... or, no, those aren't my ovaries there, try over a bit,” Noble says. "The main difference between me and a rubber model is that rubber doesn't talk back.” Many teaching hospitals bring in live models for their students and young doctors to learn on. But Noble does more than just provide a physical body. She works closely with a teaching doctor and inter acts freely with the students, inter jecting earthy humor and common sense into a potentially stressful and highly charged scene. Disassociating sex, embarrass ment and stress from the gyneco logical exam takes on a greater ur gency in light of a new study pub lished this summer by the New England Journal of Medicine.

New jus when just ai Justice D three weeks in 1990. No sive questioi ing the job o Reac Continued By Jason Brow Lurie at the University of Minneso ta, found that male internists and family doctors under age 38 were much less likely than women doc tors to give patients PAP smears and other preventive procedures. Lurie said young male doctors may feel uncomfortable examin ing women's reproductive organs and discussing matters related to sexuality, though that self-con sciousness lessens in time. The study found that 49.9 per cent of the patients of young women doctors got PAP smears, while only 31.9 percent of the pa tients of young male doctors did. The gender difference narrowed among older doctors and all but disappeared among obstetrician- gynecologists. Noble says she hasn't noticed much difference between male and female students in attitude or bed side manner when they try exam ining her on the stirrup-equipped, gynecological examining table. "In fact. I've had woman dft tors be rougher than rough doffi a pelvic exam on me," she says, In addition to helping yol doctors avoid physical discomfoii with their patients. Noble advise them to avoid words and phrase with sexual connotations.
