What are you on about? When I (a woman) got eye surgery and put on a mixed ward afterwards to recover, how did it affect my treatment?

Ah sorry, I didn’t realise that eyes were especially different between the sexes

When I was in hospital I was on a floor devoted to ailments of the leg and foot. This was divided up into wards of 5 with them being all male or all female. The only difference in treatment between the wards (as far as I could tell) is there was a male nurse as part of the team overseeing two wards (one high visibility, one standard). I’d imagine he would have been able to provide the same level of care on a female ward but it could possibly have been handy to have him on male wards for the older,. possibly more confused, patients who might accept more direct instructions from a male nurse. However, I saw no evidence for this.
