Sexist Myths in Healthcare
Sexist myths in healthcare pose a threat to the well-being of female patients. The assumption that sex differences significantly impact health outcomes leads to misinformed medical practices. Research has highlighted the risk of underdosing women due to the misconception that drug effects are solely determined by sex, rather than considering factors like body size. The need to reevaluate biases and address gaps in healthcare based on gender, not solely biological sex, is crucial for improving medical treatment and outcomes.
