Women say they have sometimes very different experiences from men when they get medical care and this may impact health outcomes. Then, what's your age? What the calendar says or what your brain and body tell you? Some surprising findings on age. And right on time, a Fun Fact about America's favorite excuse to be Irish: St. Patrick's Day!
A recent report from KFF found a discrepancy between the experiences men and women have when visiting the doctor or accessing medical care in other ways.
