Doctor meets special need
---
Female physician will provide students a choice at Watkins
Joe Harder
Kansan staff writer
A new female physician at Watkins Memorial Health Center will ease the work load on the other female staff and provide care at Patricia Denning, a Watkins physician.
Linda Lyle, who began work Aug. 17,
will provide another choice for students seeking a female physician. Patients can specifically request a doctor of either sex.
"Female patients, especially young adults who are not used to a gynecology exam, will sometimes feel more comfortable with a female doctor." Denning said. She said that sometimes there was more demand for female physicians than they could meet.
Charles Yockey, chief of staff at Watkins, said Lyle was the first full-time female physician at Watkins in four years.
"By being the only female here full-time, it assures that there is always a woman in my house."
Lyle also brings with her a specialty in family practice medicine, a focus that qualifies her for a wide range of medical procedures.
Yockey key, "Family practice is useful to small communities or in settings like ours where there's a wide variety of problems."
He said a physician with a specialty in family practice had training in areas ranging from internal medicine to orthopedics and pediatrics.
Family practitioners also should be able to relate well to people, Lyle said. "As I see the students as patients I will try to have a positive impact on their lifestyles and get them to take care themselves," she said.
Jim Boyle, associate director at Watkins, said that the job Lyle now held opened early this spring when James Reed, a physician at Watkins,
announced his retirement. Seven physicians, five men and two women, applied for the job. Boyle said.
Of those seven, three men and two women were selected for interviews. All five were graduates of either the University's undergraduate or medical school programs.
Boyle said that Lyle's work experience seemed like it would fit in well at Watkins.
"We had one more physician who had more experience, but Dr. Lyle's was closer to our practice." Boyle said.
Lyle graduated from the University in 1975 with a bachelor's degree in occupational therapy. She then worked four years as a therapist in Wichita, Sedalia, Mo., and Topeka, before returning to KU for two and one-half years to study pre-medicine.
While at KU, she worked for a Lawrence family practitioner, who inspired her to specialize in that field. She graduated from the University of Kansas Medical Center in 1987, and attended the University of Arizona for three years of residency. She then worked for one and one-half years at a clinic similar to Watkins.
Lyle has received several awards during her educational career. As a senior at the University of Kansas School of Medicine-Wichita, she was selected as outstanding student in both internal medicine and family practice. She was also selected as outstanding third-year resident in family practice in Arizona.
Lyle said that the chance to return to Lawrence was attractive.
"Thejob was really cool," shesaid. "I wanted to work with students, and this job has great benefits and hours. You work really hard during the school year, but you get the summers off. There's more to me than just a doctor."
Lyle said that her first week on the job had been rewarding.
"There's a lot more variety here than I thought there would be," she said. "There's something new all the time."

Although Linda Lyle, family practitioner, is a new addition to the Watkins Health Center staff, she is no stranger to the University of Kansas. A Wichita native, she did her undergraduate work at KU as well as attending the Med Center, Lyle worked in Arizona before returning to Lawrence.
