#gendered Yes, questioning her health by saying she's tired, or weak, or etc.

#gendered Yes, questioning her health by saying she's tired, or weak, or etc. is dog whistling the stereotype that females are physically and otherwise constitutionally weaker than males. I'm a bully, I'm robust! Oh, well, you must be a better provider, then. Once upon a time, older citizens, and specifically older women, were considered a valuable commodity for their experience and accumulated knowledge, skills, and hopefully wisdom. In general, though, our society doesn't respect intellect. And physicality is equated with being male.

She's female, she's weak, she can't handle it. Horse hockey.

Every one of these people, including the females playing into this game, is a chauvinist.

It is, generally speaking, considered a conflict of interest, unethical, unprofessional for a physician to indulge in politics in their capacity as a caregiver. Iow, politics is private, keep it out of the office and the doctor-patient relationship.

Jill Stein and the anti-vax nonsense.

P.S. Pinsky has made public statements suggesting he is hardly an unbiased observer.

You have really got to be an, um, donkey, for Newt Gingrich to be calling you out and be right. http://www.snopes.com/2016/08/18/dr-drew-hillary-clinton-health/
