Btw, I meant to explain that when I said I didn't think a psychosomatic diagnoses was due do to having a male physician, what I meant was this:

Such a perception might arise from not the gender of the physician themselves, but from the masculinized ways of looking, perceiving and thinking that come about as a product of the 'medical gaze' (see Foucault, Michel (1963) 'The Birth of the Clinic: An Archeology of Medical Perception'. Oxon, UK: Routledge).

That of course, would be specific to both genders.
