DO WOMEN MAKE
BETTER DOCTORS?
When given a choice between a male or
a female doctor, who would you rather
see? Research shows that now more than
ever, the answer for most patients—both men and women alike—is
that female physicians are preferred.
One of the underlying reasons is that women are naturally more
nurturing toward others. Typically spending more time with patients
to ensure that health complaints or other issues are being properly
addressed, women often take on an almost motherly role in such
situations. Men, on the other hand, tend to cycle through their patients
at a faster rate…resulting in frequent repeat appointments due to
unanswered questions.
Studies have additionally shown that females and males practice
medicine quite differently. Women are more likely to support clinical
guidelines that have been set in place and are much more forthcoming
toward their patients regarding whether they need to try certain
medications. Research demonstrates that patients treated by female
physicians had significantly lower mortality rates and re-admission rates
compared with those cared for by male physicians in the same hospital.
Everyone has their own preferences when it comes to selecting a
physician—whether male or female, younger or older, as part of a large
office or a smaller, family practice—but it's clear that the gender factor
has some interesting data surrounding it.
