Abstract

As the proportion of women physicians in the United States increases, patients have increased access to physicians of either sex, and some patients express a clear preference for female providers. This is especially true in obstetrics/gynecology, where patients may have a variety of reasons for requesting female physicians. This column presents a case in which the patient not only expressed a preference for a female physician, but also, in fact, refused care from any male obstetrician/gynecologist. Possible responses to such a request are examined, with consideration of the competing priorities involved.

患者选择提供者性别。
随着美国女医生比例的增加,患者越来越多地接触到男女医生,一些患者明确表示更喜欢女性医生。在产科/妇科尤其如此,患者可能有各种各样的理由要求女医生。本专栏提出了一个病例,在这个病例中,病人不仅表达了对女医生的偏好,而且事实上,拒绝了任何男性妇产科医生的护理。考虑到所涉及的相互竞争的优先事项,审查对这种请求可能作出的反应。
