[laughter] research says a patient will refer to a doctor of the same gender. they say their preference for women may mean that communication skills play a bigger role in getting patients to trust a doctor. the results were even more pronounced when the doctors were giving advice about nutrition, exercise and weight loss. so -- [laughter] >> you disagree with this. >> no, look, i think that when you go through medical school, you're not really
