 Women are better doctors but get paid less
 A new study from Harvard University shows that female doctors are a little better than maledoctors, but get paid less. Researchers looked at more than three million medical records. Thepercentage of hospital patients who had to return to hospital, or who died, was lower if thedoctor was female. Mortality rates (the number of people who died) were 15.02 % andreadmissions (people who had to stay in hospital a second time) rates were 11.07 % forfemale doctors, compared with 15.57 % mortality and 11.49 % readmission rates for patientsof male doctors.
 The researchers did not give a reason why women provided better care to patients than men.However, researcher Dr. Ashish Jha did give a figure for the number of lives that could besaved in the USA if male doctors performed as well as female doctors. Dr. Jha said, "Weestimate that approximately 32,000 fewer patients would die if male doctors could achievethe same results as female doctors every year." He also said that it was wrong that men gotpaid more than women, especially because women were better at their jobs. Dr. Jha added,"We need to understand why these differences exist,” so female and male doctors workequally well and get the same pay. *mortality (n) 死亡率 percentage(n) 百分比 medical(n) 醫療的 readmission (n) 再次住院perform (v) 表現 figure (n) 數字 estimate (v) 估計 approximately (adv) 大約
