Does it work that way with men as well? I’m guessing it’s better to have a doctor of the same gender overall as you have a better understanding of certain issues.
No. Research tends to show that all patients have better outcomes with female doctors. It’s not the knowledge of different conditions that’s the issue, it’s the willingness to listen to patients.
On the personal side, my mom has been a nurse for 30 years and a ton of the male doctors she’s worked with are some of the most conceited, dismissive assholes she’s ever met (and she was a paralegal in her previous career, so that’s saying something). They’ve been treated like gods for so long that they can’t imagine that they could ever be wrong. She had to stop one of them from giving a patient meds that they were allergic to not too long ago, and the doctor had the nerve to get shitty with her for, I guess, daring to question him.
“Both female and male patients had a lower patient mortality when treated by female physicians; however, the benefit of receiving care from female physicians was larger for female patients than for male patients”
Interesting. Women do have more attention to detail in most cases, especially if they’re moms!
I asked because my wife and I have the same female doctor and I think she’s gotten better results than I have, but it could just be cause she’s known her longer.
Lemmy is worse than Reddit. Way bigger Echo chamber. You can’t have a civil discussion here, because no matter how polite you put it, people will downvote, call you names, put you down like you’re doing. No class. This place allows zero room for differing opinions, even if you’re both on the same side.
That’s why this site stopped growing and is now shrinking, cause of people like you. If we were face to face as humans in a public setting, you would never call me butthurt or other insults, cause your momma taught you it’s wrong. But for some reason, once it’s anonymous on the internet, you throw around names and insults and somehow think you’re acting like a reasonable adult.

Would you be this knee-jerk and snippy with people face to face? Take a page out of your own book maybe before you start lecturing others on your great manners.
You do the same shit that my mom does. For some reason it’s all or nothing, every circumstance is the same. She is either 100% correct, or 100% wrong and there is no room for context or nuance.
It’s fucking stupid, and I’ve called her that to her face. The only one preventing civil discussion here is you.
Big fat fucking lol. I asked you a question to move the convo forward, because maybe you read some kind of study or something… you reaponded instead with some snarky shit. Then you didn’t like my snarky response to your snarky response.
I must have gotten very unlucky, because I’ve had both male doctors and female doctors and the worst two were both female (we’re talking GP, not specialists).
Shame on you for having an unpopular opinion/experience. The guy above you said both of his favourite doctors were female, which proves the point of the article. Your experience should prove the opposite by definition (haha, no)

The article shared by @Kalkaline@leminal.space (https://doi.org/10.7326/M23-3163) shows that male and female benefit from being treated by a female doctor.

That’s a bit sexist really.
I know plenty of women, including mums, that are a complete walking disaster just like many men.
Do we? Do we really pay more attention to details? I thought that was just misinformation from the last century.
We do! We also have fewer teeth, and all of our mental health problems are caused by our uteruses wandering around inside our bodies.
100% I imagine if men and women stick to the traditional gender roles they may interact with skills differently that lead to perceptions like this.
Fine, you’re all idiots and can’t function. Is that better?
Why does it have to be some sweeping statement? And… are you like butthurt? I could not help but notice.

Lol that person can meet up if they like and I will call them butthurt in person.

I mean… dude.
People like you are why the world sucks
I must have gotten very unlucky, because I’ve had both male doctors and female doctors and the worst two were both female (we’re talking GP, not specialists).
How about you go another million times to thousands of male and female doctors and then report back. We’ll be waiting for you.
Because I was unlucky?
Yes, that is how statistics works.
The statistics of me being unlucky by getting two bad female doctors?
Shame on you for having an unpopular opinion/experience. The guy above you said both of his favourite doctors were female, which proves the point of the article. Your experience should prove the opposite by definition (haha, no)
That very much confirmed my bias lmao. Very interesting.
