In my experience, this is how a lot of (invariably male) doctors work.
Not invariably, you also get female doctors who will withhold care from female patients to punish them for the moral failing of being the wrong kind of woman. Like the one who told my sister “periods don’t hurt that much, get over yourself” and refused to test for PCOS that she ended up having, or the one who told my wife when she was 15 “I’m not prescribing you birth control, you’re not going to need it till you lose some weight anyway”.
