I didn't watch it yet. I will later when I have time.
In my experience, the quote about Xanax being prescibed relatively easily from male docs to female patients might hold some truth.
I was thinking about this the other day. Right now I have a male doc and sometimes see his male PA. I think, in general, males are sympathetic and protective of females. It's their nature. They want to help us. They don't want to see us get hurt.
Females, on the other hand, are different. We tend to judge each other with a bias. There's that little high school girl inside our heads that scews the way we treat each other.
I've never had very good treatment of empathy (not looking for sympaththy) from female docs/NP's. They've been tight-fisted and cold. It's somewhat understandable. Females need to be tough and earn their spot in a previously male-dominated field... somewhat like law-enforment and business and politics.
