Does your surgeon’s gender affect your chances of survival? According to groundbreaking research, the answer is yes. In this eye-opening conversation, Dr. Christopher Wallace breaks down decades of surgical data showing that patients—especially women—have better outcomes with female surgeons. We explore why female surgeons consistently see lower mortality rates, the systemic biases they face, and what this means for both patients and the medical profession. From communication and trust to pay gaps and professional recognition, this episode uncovers the realities behind the operating room doors—and why it’s time for systemic change in medicine.
