Calling Doctor Joans
Wow.
This is pretty alarming:
"Women are 15% more liable to suffer a bad outcome, and 32% more likely to die, when a man rather than a woman carries out the surgery, according to a study of 1.3 million patients."
https://www.theguardian.com/society/2022/jan/04/women-more-likely-die-operation-male-surgeon-study
That's a big study, and worrying results.
The outcomes for women operated on by a man, are worse than men operated on by men or women.
So if you're a woman going in for an op, you really want your surgeon to be the same sex.
