"A new study finds that women who go to the ER for treatment of pain are less likely to get the needed pain medication, regardless of their age or ethnicity or even the sex of the medical professional — female doctors and nurses were as unlikely to provide the relief as male ones. And nurses are less likely to record how much pain a woman is experiencing."

I have directly heard these experiences from black women here in #SouthCarolina!

This isn't a US-specific problem - it's a "being a woman makes medical professionals not take you seriously" problem.
