Thanks for highlighting this very important issue.

Prof Chris Gale in Leeds has been researching the inequalities in the care of women when they have heart attacks for sometime

I think this is one of the best documentaries I have seen on the subject.

Yes I have seen this video very interesting indeed.

There are too few women Interventional Cardiologists and Heart surgeons accompanied by a gender pay gap.

This is interesting:

Female physicians seemed far more likely to welcome the study’s recommendations, while a surprising number of male physicians (particularly those working in Emergency medicine) generally attacked the study on all fronts as yet another example of “doctor-bashing”, a blanket dismissal that I too face with alarming regularity every time I write – or even link to studies – about female heart patients being underdiagnosed or undertreated compared to our male counterpart.

Wow.......

I'm dealing with one "youth" in Cardiology of late.

This is extremely helpful.

This is not quite unlike "MeToo" movement.

Profoundly shocking, indeed.............

Thank you, Calliope153.

It was a reassuring article that the gender gap in cardiology is being discussed and recognized.Let`s hope this continues and escalates.It took 3 years to convince a cardiologist I had heart problems and it wasn`t until I was seriously unwell and had had all the symptoms for some time that they took any steps to treat me.
