  • This isn’t about empathy or just male testing. It’s lacking better judgement. Female surgeons don’t seem to have the problem of “higher death rate of patients of one gender.”

    The painmedication discrimination isn’t just about “only male testing.” I mean you give morphine to people who flew through their windshield right? It’s not like they tested it on rats they flung at a wall first. Second, the lidocaine situation is just an example of ignoring patient’s pleas with no reason. The stuff is commonly used on female patients in other procedures. So why stop at that one specific procedure?

    While it’s the opposite situations in hospitals.

    Torn uterus as a labour complication? Have some ibuprofen! Oh your husband has a stiff neck? He gets a prescription drug to handle the unimaginable pain.

    Why use lidocaine on women during catherization? Surely the length of the urethra is more important than the diameter!

    A study found out that women were more likely to die than men in surgery, when operated on by a male surgeon. Female surgeons are a safer bet. Turns out you shouldn’t go into surgery when you are sick. And women weren’t taken seriously by male surgeons as much when mentioning not feeling too well.
