I can imagine womens' voices being ignored by doctors decades ago, but not these days
So that's my little anecdote of contemporary society, in London at least
How then do do you explain that in London women are nearly 4 times as likely to be diagnosed with MUS? ("Medically Unexplained Symptoms (MUS) Project implementation report March 2011" NHS Commissioning for London. page 14- 4.2.1 Gender In total, significantly more female patients (79%) than male patients (21%) were identified with MUS. Each practice identified a statistically similar proportion of male and female patients.
