A new study from Harvard University shows that female doctors are slightly better than their male colleagues, but get paid less. Researchers looked at more than three million medical records. Around half of these (1.5 million) were hospitalizations, and the other half were for readmissions (people who had to stay in hospital a second time). The percentage of hospital patients who had to return to hospital, or who died, was lower if the doctor was female. Mortality rates (the number of people who died) were 15.02 per cent and readmission rates were 11.07 per cent for female doctors, compared with 15.57 per cent mortality and 11.49 per cent readmission rates for patients of male doctors.

來(lái)自哈佛大學(xué)一項(xiàng)新的研究顯示，女醫(yī)生的表現(xiàn)比男醫(yī)生更好一些，但是薪資卻更低。研究人員查看了超過(guò)300萬(wàn)條醫(yī)療記錄。大約一半的是住院治療，另外一半是再次入院。如果主治醫(yī)生是女性，病人二次入院或死亡的比例較低。女醫(yī)生診治的病人死亡率為15.02%，再次入院率為11.07%。而男醫(yī)生診治的病人死亡率為15.57%，再次入院率為11.49%。

The researchers did not give a reason why women provided better care to patients than men. However, researcher Dr. Ashish Jha did give a figure for the number of lives that could be saved in the USA if male doctors performed as well as female doctors. Dr Jha said: "We estimate that approximately 32,000 fewer patients would die if male physicians could achieve the same [results] as female physicians every year." He also said that it was wrong that men got paid more than women, especially because women were better at their jobs. Dr Jha added: "We need to understand why these differences exist…and figure out how to translate it to the [wider] population of physicians."

研究人員并未給出女醫(yī)生比男醫(yī)生提供更好的醫(yī)護(hù)的原因。然而，研究員Ashish Jha醫(yī)生給出了一個(gè)數(shù)據(jù)，如果美國(guó)的男醫(yī)生像女醫(yī)生表現(xiàn)那么好，有許多生命可以得到挽救。Jha表示：“我們估計(jì)如果男醫(yī)生的醫(yī)術(shù)像女醫(yī)生那樣，每年的死亡人數(shù)可以減少大約3.2萬(wàn)。”他還表示，男醫(yī)生的薪資比女醫(yī)生更高，這是錯(cuò)誤的，尤其是女醫(yī)生在工作中的表現(xiàn)比男醫(yī)生更好。Jha醫(yī)生補(bǔ)充說(shuō)：“我們需要理解為何存在這種差異，并查明這種現(xiàn)象在更廣泛的人群中是否存在。”
