Are you trying to say that women historically haven't had any obstacles to becoming doctors? Just because you can point to a handful of exceptions doesn't mean that discrimination doesn't exist. I don't know as much about the Middle Ages but read some Galen or pretty much any Greek author and tell me with a straight face that any of these people would have no problems with women being doctors.
