Why didn't you say so?

Best medical advice I ever got was to bring a man to your appointments

Cis-het man here. Professionals (doctors, bankers, lawyers, consultants) will often just straight-up ignore women. But when I repeat what the woman says, they listen to me.

There's a great meme about a guy who likes to go to garages with his F1 engineer woman friend to watch them talk to him about her car and ignore her.

He knows fuck all about cars.

My ex wife is the handiest person I've ever met. Worked in her dad's garage, worked as a house painter, knows how to sweat copper pipe. You name it, she knows it or will work her ass off at learning it. And every time we were together at a hardware store, every single time, even when it was her own uncle's that I was meeting for the first time, all the questions and explanations came to me. Like dude, I don't know shit about plumbing and she's the one that asked for the left handed smoke shifter or whatever.
