How you know Medicine is ran by Men
Okay here is the senerio: a 34 year old male comes into the Emergency room with pressure in the chest an EKG (elctrocardiogram) is done and labs are drawn and all are normal, it is decided to keep him for 12 hours and monitor him and repeat the tests. After all that including a cardiac stress test he is sent home diagnosed with an anxiety attack but encouraged to follow up with his doctor.
Okay now for another senerio: a 34 year old female comes into the Emergency Room with pressure in the chest an EKG is done and labs are drawn and both are abnormal. After three hours she is sent home with no further EKG's or labs or any additional test and told to follow up with her doctor in a week.
The above scenerios are truthfull accounts of visits my husband and I had at different times in the same emergency room. Sad isn't it.
Heart disease is on the rise as a leading cause of death in women, but they way a woman presents with heart disease is different than that of men and is often ignored by health care providers until a heart attack occurs.
Another way that you know medicine is ruled by men is that almost all insurance carriers will pay for meds like Viagra for erectile dysfunction but will often not pay for contraception or severly limits the choices a woman has for types of contraception.
And why is it called an incompetent cervix if a woman cervix cannot withstand the weight of a full term pregnancy and not called cervical dysfunction whereas it is called erectile dysfunction when a man can't get it up and not incompetent penis or a case of a slacking penis?

Okay. Okay. MAN HATER.
Men have only two choices for contraception, the condom, and a vasectomy. A third is not his choice, but his significant other that chooses abstinence. Women have the diaphram, an IUD, the pill, the female condom, and getting your tubes tied (I'm sure I am missing some). The simplest reason I can think of that your scenario is true, is that women can have sex anytime, anywhere, and with whomever they want. Thus making them a higher risk and eventually costing more money. Men are reduced to begging for sex and providing them contraception is less complicated and overall cheap.
Does that clear things up?
Last day you are such a goon
