“Whenever you walk into a busy clinic, it’s almost exclusively women and children. And there might be one or two men there, who appear to be reluctant to be there. They’re frequently brought by their wives. And I had wondered, well, where are all the men? Maybe they’re accessing a men’s only clinic or something like that. And after several years of observing this, I came around to discussing this with my colleagues and they say, no, no, this is it. These are the men who show up. And they’re frequently only the ones who are brought by their wives,” he says.
他说：“不论你何时走进一家业务繁忙的诊所，看病的几乎都是女人和孩子，有时可能会有一、两个男性病人，不过他们看起来大都满脸的不情愿。这些男性病人通常都是由妻子带来的。我以前就很想知道，男性病人为什么不来看病？他们是有专门的男性诊所之类的吗？通过几年的观察，我开始和其他同事讨论这个问题，他们说根本没有男性诊所，男性本来就很少接受治疗。在诊所里出现的就是仅有的接受治疗的男性病人，他们都是由妻子带来的。”
