You're also statistically more likely to die in a hospital. But you know why? That's because you go to a hospital when you're sick.

You're also more likely to have a car crash within 10 Mi if you're home. Well most of your driving is within 10 miles of your home.

I bet the gender gap between the number of male and female surgeons is still way out of balance. I'd have to know they had corrected for any imbalance that might be due to the sheer difference in the amounts of surgeons that are male versus female.
