@amydiehl I don't think that is that statistical different. The problem is that doctors see themselves as better and more knowledgeable than their patients. We need to make doctors better at interpersonal communication and respect.
I'm not dismissing that women are treated worse, I just don't see it as the biggest takeaway from that data.

@Stefwill @amydiehl There is that doctors are Gods that should be looked up to and obeyed vibe that is felt by everyone but there is, in addition to it, the patronizing there, there little lady you don't know anything man to woman vibe that absolutely makes it far worse than the average doctor is infallible arrogant vibe that many male physicians give off as their way of distancing themselves from their patients as they are afraid of involvement and wanting to be viewed as experts.
