A study found that when women go to a doctor, they ask an average of six questions. But men ask an average of zero questions. Why the difference?

Well, the if the guys want to stay in the dark about their health with their doctors there's not much we can do about it. It's their choice.

I write ✍🏼 down my question and concerns and hand over the paper to my doctor and we discuss each one.

Women like to share their problems? Have the doctors solve them? Easy way out?

men just want to avoid the problems? Or solve them by just working or? Not 100% sure.

That’s not my experience though.
They asked me too many of the same questions all the years I decided to go see one.

when was your last Period? Then I have to check my calendar since mine isn’t regular.
are you pregnant? Are you on meds? Why are you here? What is bothering you?

I'm here because your office kept calling me to come for the last 4 years?

nothing is bothering me. I am fine.
check blood pressure… same every year. Excellent.
blood work… high good cholesterol and high bad cholesterol… here take this med.

no. I will monitor myself with life style change.

I’ll put it in anyway… then pharmacy calls me daily for the next two weeks to harass me to get on meds. No thanks.

SMH!!

they ask too many of the same questions. Why can I just skip them they should know me by know.

Guys are really not that interested. They just want to get the hell out of there. If you ask questions the doctor just wants to send you for more tests.

[RingOfFire]

You are so right. one question = one test... six questions = 6 tests

with 6 tests you get a liver transplant.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Limited time offer!

[queenofcardio]

Lol I probably ask more than 6 questions 😅

It’s good to ask as many questions as you can and be well informed during a check up.

Well, I guess this study just revealed that I'm a woman.

@RingOfFire most men are morons when it comes to their health and well being.

Doctors should be aware of that and make sure men who don't ask questions are fully informed of what they should be.

[Mamasssaaan]

That's because of toxic masculinity and social conditioning

I don't know because I talk and ask.
