Patients tend to fare better...
Does gender matter when choosing a doctor, Tara Parker-Hope asks on nytimes.com.
Whether your doctor is male or female could be a matter of life or death, a new study suggests, according to Parker-Hope.
The study, of more than 580,000 heart patients admitted over two decades to emergency rooms in Florida, found that mortality rates for both women and men were lower when the treating physician was female, Parker-Hope noted.
And women who were treated by male doctors were the least likely to survive, she added.
