That’s a funny way to characterize a bunch of male doctors ignoring my wife’s request for them to ask me simple questions instead of her because she was incapacitated with pain, particularly when in a previous situation I broke my ankle and my request for questions to be addressed to her went fulfilled without any objections by the hospital staff.
But I will be sure to let my wife know that a stranger on the internet thinks her claims of sexism at the hospital are unfounded.
