Why do women seem to clog up Doctors waiting rooms, men only visit in emergencies !?

Question

I know it sounds sexist, but true in 4 years i've been to the Doctors 3 times. Each time in pain or fealing like death. Every time you wait for about 2 hrs to be seen, because its full of ladies who dont seem ill at all ! In Australia with Medicare and "Bulk Billing" health care is free ! If you always paid would that stop "mallingering" and women over crowding waiting list with menial complaints ?

Answer 1

Keep in mind that those who don't "seem" ill can be ill after all!

For instance, I have fibromyalgia. I'm in constant pain. You don't see it on me, but I'm certainly ill and in a lot of pain.

There's migraine, pregnancy, all sorts of problems related to menstruation etc. You don't always see people's illnesses on the outside.

Women also have a higher pain threshold than men. Our bodies are made to endure a lot of pain (child birth for one), so we can be ill or in a lot of pain without it showing much on the outside.

My experience though is that the gender ratio is rather equal in the waiting rooms I've been to. Except for the gynecologist. ;)

Answer 2

basically $one hundred seventy? you don't be attentive to easily how fortunate you're that the bill became into so small! final three hundred and sixty 5 days I had 2 ankle X-rays in ER on a weekend and later have been given a bill for $3000 above what insurance paid! basically pay the bill, regardless of if all you're able to do is $10 according to month till this is paid off. as long as you're making the attempt to pay it, your credit will stay ok.

Answer 3

Men refuse to go to the doctors until it is too late sometimes....women like to catch a problem at the start..before it is too late to fix it.

Answer 4

Gotta be a man!!! It's cos men are scared of doctors-like everything else!!!!

Answer 5

The real people clogging up the doctor's waiting rooms are the stupid illegal aliens.
