"I watched this programme most of it was quite good and informative, but I got the impression that the doctor presenting it has a massive chip of her shoulder? " She's right to. Women receive sub standard medical care as a consequence of the issues discussed and are routinely dismissed as "hysterical" when it comes to managing pain, for example. Women's pain is seen by doctors as having an emotional origin whereas men's more likely to be organic disease. Access to gynaecological treatment, treatment of post birth injuries and trauma is inadequate. Etc. She SHOULD have a huge chip. | |||

I thought she was in danger of losing credibility in the middle of it when she started playing the "ist" card a little to much. But doesn't detract from the science which was interesting. | |||

"So if woman are generally fitter AND live longer, should they retire later in life than men? Thus reducing the male retirement age to something more appropriate, shall we say 52? "Think you're onto something there. | |||

" no doubt there are cases that need to be investigated but really ? Men get preferential treatment from a medical perspective? " They certainly do. I've experienced it as a man, and know several women who have experienced themselves. All of the women I mention are highly-educated (Law / Medicine / Social Healthcare / Advertising), well read and intelligent women. All of them have life-long debilitating conditions, and without exception they have all had to fight to be taken seriously with their assorted conditions, and I'm ashamed to say, by male doctors (and one or two female doctors two). My experience from a male perspective when I went for the snip and was in the consulting room with my wife... Dr "Are you sure ?", looking at me. Me "Yes". Dr "Alright then". He didn't once look at her. Or ask "Are you both sure". That's male privilege right there.  | |||

My take away from the program was more to do with drug development and approval processes which she professed to be unisex, when in many cases drugs work differently or sometimes not at all depending on your sex. " In the past (and to some extent nowadays still), drugs trials, especially early stage ones, exclude all women. So that means meds are not being tested or have not been tested on women and have gained approval with sometimes a 100% male cohort of study participants. Women are still described as a "special population" when designing studies. Even when women ARE included in studies, the authors rarely publish data broken down by sex. So, if, for example, the men respond very well to a drug, but the women respond less well, the fact there's very few women will mean that the "dilution" of the male very high results will be minimal and the drug may be declared suitable. Also this means side effects that are more common in women (due to women having greater body fat % where many drugs accumulate) are under represented or not represented at all. This means some serious side effects may only become obvious after a drug is approved and hits the market, but we go back to the phenomenon of women's pain and other complaints being dismissed and put down to emotions (hysteria). | |||

Endometriosis is an excellent example. Surprisingly common and excruciatingly painful, yet often misdiagnosed or dismissed for years.

"If you need your female bits repaired try and make sure they explore every option before they use the dreaded mesh, many women have found parts of their bodies unusable after the fitment of the mesh and some with far worse complications than that ie constant pain.

"Men have tended not to seek medical opinion until the last moment, thinking they will get over it or they have to “man up”. They also have tended to be less comfortable talking to doctors especially if its of a personal nature. It’s getting less of a problem as younger men do seem to have less hang ups than the older generations. The death age gap between genders is starting to narrow as old attitudes also die." Men also get fobbed off. Try asking for a PSA test. You will be told to go away until you have symptoms. Its too late by then. | |||
