Women Die More from Heart Attacks Than Men Unless ER Doc Is Female
I absolutely believe that male doctors (in America, anyway, the only place I have experience) may be less receptive to hearing patients' symptoms and issues, but:
"...about 11.9 percent of the time overall—but the research team found women with heart attacks will die about 12.4 percent of the time if their cases are handled by male doctors"
My first thought on reading that was, 0.5 percent is not a huge number, and is the kind of "difference" that could easily fail to replicate.
