Public health researchers at Harvard University took a random sample of 20 percent of people receiving Medicare who had been hospitalised between January 2011 and December 2014. The researchers discovered that no matter what medical condition (like sepsis, pneumonia, acute kidney failure, and irregular heartbeats) landed the patient in the hospital, they were less likely to die or to be readmitted when they’re treated by a female physician than by a male physician.
But the question is why patients treated by women did so much better ?
Studies show that women generally score better on medical standardised tests, they’re more likely to use best-practices when treating patients, and to spend time communicating with their patients.
Researchers said “We estimate that approximately 32,000 fewer patients would die if male physicians could achieve the same outcomes as female physicians every year.”
