For me, I'm the opposite. And the data supports it:

JAMA: Comparison of Hospital Mortality and Readmission Rates for Medicare Patients Treated by Male vs Female Physicians

Question Do patient outcomes differ between those treated by male and female physicians?

Findings In this cross-sectional study, we examined nationally representative data of hospitalized Medicare beneficiaries and found that patients treated by female physicians had significantly lower mortality rates (adjusted mortality rate, 11.07% vs 11.49%) and readmission rates (adjusted readmission rate, 15.02% vs 15.57%) compared with those cared for by male physicians within the same hospital.

Meaning Differences in practice patterns between male and female physicians, as suggested in previous studies, may have important clinical implications for patient outcomes.

female=smaller hands...good for dentists (and other procedures)

[Nine, Frau!]

one half of a percent is significant? What about non medicare medical help? Thanks for the their correction.

Could have been worse. Imagine if she was your blind date for the evening and she tried to kiss you.
