I wonder if that type of bias could be some result of the way medical schools structure the courses training our doctors, or if medicine is just a universal enough human need that it exposes bias inherent in all areas of our society.

Physician bias that women and people of colour are “tougher” is real. We are educated about it and are improving but as with bias against these classes of individuals everywhere else in life, we have come a long way but we are not perfect.

Most current medical schools (at least reputable ones) provides extensive training on this matter.
