We are seen to have nothing better to do than to go to the doctor complaining of all sorts of maladies when all we really need is "something to keep us busy" and not bothering them... I've been known to change doctors for this very reason, but female doctors are just as prejudiced as male doctors.

Studies have shown that women are less likely to receive pain medicine than men. Women's physical complaints are less likely to be taken seriously in general than men.<BR/>Carolyn L.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
