I'd restrict it to the 2010s to be sure. But it varies from one specialty to another.

When again did medicine discovered that woman benefit from anesthetics when inserting an infra-uterine device? Oh it was by 2025...

The lack of pain-empathy in healthcare is mind-blowing. I'm a white man in an excellent position to be listened to, but when I had appendicitis last year getting people to understand that no, I am in crippling pain and I think it's urgent was far to much hassle for someone in crippling pain. I can't imagine what it's like for women.

I can understand folk getting jaded eventually but I often get the feeling that many people start out not caring.
