I found the original article for people who are interested. It sounded suspiciously neat, but the data are messy enough to be believable.

@AlphaCentauri One of the main problems with medical studies is that the main subject tended to be male, white, and adult. Very few studies focus on racial, gender, age, and economic status subjects and how this differs from normal. We all know that most trained doctors treat people differently and dismiss someone's pain if they do not take them seriously...especially male doctors.
