You make a lot of good points about risk taken. I wonder what percentage of leading surgeons in complex surgeries are female.

I’d also be interested in seeing more about race - I don’t have an article or study handy, but I’ve read in the past that many medical textbooks and materials are specifically geared toward how issues an diseases present on caucasian skin. Especially in dermatology, there seems to be a gap in providing care to people with much darker skin complexion as a result. I wonder if somehow that may carry over into many other areas as well.
