A large study from a representative sample of general practitioners in Manchester showed that women doctors saw more women patients than men doctors, especially in the childbearing age group. They saw a similar range of diagnoses as men doctors, though they saw more women patients for cervical smears, contraception, and breast disorders. Preventive health care may not be adequately provided for these in practices without a woman partner.
一项针对曼彻斯特全科医生代表性样本的大型研究表明,女医生接待的女性患者比男医生多,尤其是在育龄年龄段。她们的诊断范围与男医生相似,不过在宫颈涂片检查、避孕和乳腺疾病方面,她们接待的女性患者更多。在没有女医生搭档的诊所里,可能无法为这些患者提供充分的预防性医疗保健服务。
