    This isn’t about empathy or just male testing. It’s lacking better judgement. Female surgeons don’t seem to have the problem of “higher death rate of patients of one gender.”

    The painmedication discrimination isn’t just about “only male testing.” I mean you give morphine to people who flew through their windshield right? It’s not like they tested it on rats they flung at a wall first. Second, the lidocaine situation is just an example of ignoring patient’s pleas with no reason. The stuff is commonly used on female patients in other procedures. So why stop at that one specific procedure?
