That’s still not an excuse for a doctor to confirm with his patient’s husband when the wife is the patient.

It is an excuse though, it's not about being husband and wife it's not about being a woman, it's about getting a second opinion from a separate party because of the stuff that the OP mentioned.

Now, some doctors make their sexism more evident, but you can't really judge them by that interaction, I've seen plenty that just try to confirm the story of the patient with the patients companion, regardless of gender.
