@RickiTarr I knew an ED clinician who faced a tardy, indifferent male surgeon who became furious because she ordered pain meds for a patient with ovarian torsion in severe pain after she waited hours for the surgeon to come to examine her for surgery. My friend was livid because he dismissed the patient's pain as not serious and accused her of interfering with an accurate exam by him of "how serious" the condition was. She said that male docs routinely rx pain relief for men w testicular torsion. But not for people with freaking ovaries!
