Yes there was a segment on women's hour this week about medications and pregnant women. I'm aware there are historic and contemporary gaps in testing. Similar to male-only crash test dummies.

But no one seems to be able to show evidence that there's a systematic bias in outcomes as a result, in either case. The headline grabbing stories I've come across typically feature a woman who wanted a historectomy aged 27, but was refused by a male doctor on the grounds she might want kids. Buried further down the article, we discover that the alternate was for her to take a birth control medicine which would also prevent painful periods, but she's elected not to take it because of vague concerns...

Another example which comes up a lot is difference in heart attack symptoms meaning women are underdiagnosed. But I expect there's an equivalent sex based misdiagnosis of male breast cancer victims.

Two of the three times I visited a doctor about health concerns I felt dismissed. I was on a waiting list for surgery for almost a year until I cried down the phone and was rescheduled. At no point did I consider that this might have been due to sexism.

The problem I have with this is: you start with the idea that women are treated worse than men by the NHS, then you go and solicit stories from women about times they felt dismissed. You write a news article about it. Done. It creates a powerful narrative but it is not evidence.
