Letters to the Editor: ‘The main reason men don’t come to doctors is because doctors do not know how to interact with patients as equals…

I can multiply examples, but suffice it to say our medical training is so imbued with learning through endless one-upmanship that it is second nature for doctors to try to be winners all the time. Starting from a disdain for the patient’s time, making them wait as if we were as high and mighty as judges, doctors never deal with patients on a level field, the way barbers or bartenders do with their clientele.’ AMA News
