The Australian is running a story today based on research from Deakin University saying that women are tougher than men.
SCIENCE has finally confirmed what women have long suspected – when it comes to coping with pain, they are tougher than men.
A Deakin University study of 100 patients recovering from cardiac surgery revealed women needed lower doses of painkillers for shorter periods of time.
While the article is titled Truth is painful for men, I must disagree. I don’t find the research painful or surprising.
I have seen Pauline suffer through sickness and headaches at times while still getting on with life. I have seen her give birth – twice – and I know that she is better at coping with pain than I could ever be. I know that my darling wife is tougher and stronger than me in so many ways. No surprises there.
