A male doctor from Texas is getting backlash for comments published in the Dallas Medical Journal in which he said female physicians are paid less because they don’t work as hard as their male counterparts. Female physicians do not work as hard and do not see as many patients as male physicians. This is because they choose to, or they simply don’t don’t want to be rushed, or they don’t want to work the long hours. Studies have shown there is indeed a large gender pay gap in medicine. So as one might imagine, Tigges’ sentiment was not well received, and not just by female physicians.
