In addition, she is likely to pay fucking attention. It's well documented that female doctors tend to do things like follow checklists and prodcedure instead of just half-assing it.
Every single specialist female surgeon I have dealt with has been way above average. The male surgeons have been a mixed bag. Some good--some not so much.
I believe there are studies that show that if you are a woman patient, you do much better with a woman doctor. Iirc, the outcome doesn't matter if you are a man.
