Men get routinely ignored, disrespected and misdiagnosed as well. The doctor-patient relationship is adversarial (when facing someone you don't already know), what matters is not what they choose to give you, it's what you can take from them. This is why people who are more assertive and confident will generally do better, as well as people who come in groups.
