Does anyone have a image of a Female Doctor?

I've been asked to make a card for a very good friend who has passed her HSA to be a Doctor. Could you advise if there is a stamp or download I could buy of a female doctor or does anyone have an image they would be willing to send me, I will pay for the postage or do an image swap in return.
