Merge OB and gyn?

Should obstetrics and gynaecology be merged into a single "obstetrics and gynaecology" article? Or should obstetrics be viewed as a subset of gynaecology? -- Karada 11:09, 24 Jan 2004 (UTC)

Yes and no. The specialisms are generally practiced in tandem, but apart from their pertinence to women, they have surprisingly little in common. Keep the status quo. JFW | T@lk 14:36, 19 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]

There is currently a vote running at Talk:Obstetrics and gynecology on whether to rename the article in accordance with the British spelling, as this individial article is. Feel free to add your vote. (Update this talk page if this information is out of date.) haz (user talk) 19:57, 20 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yess!

I think the above would be great! I hate to click out of a page!

No, and the Above comment is invalid

Wikipedia is an Encyclopedia, not a Flip-Through book. Clicking isn't a chore and 1 click more to see a subset wouldn't kill you. Gynecology should remain as is... You don't see Science or Astronomy in the same page...

Gynaikeia...might as well use the Greek name

According to the Suda, the ancient Greek physician Soranus practiced in Alexandria and subsequently Rome. He was the chief representative of the school of physicians known as "Methodists." His treatise Gynaecology is extant (first published in 1838, later by V. Rose, in 1882, with a 6th-century Latin translation by Moschio, a physician of the same school).

"Although it claims to be a simplified, catechistic version of Soranus' Gynaikeia produced for midwives who cannot read Greek, Muschio's text is more of a version than a translation, giving only a flavour of the original. Muscio rarely mentions Soranus by namel in some manuscripts, there is no mention of him at all."
