Doctors...

[Needssome]

Do you prefer a male or female doctor? Do you prefer having a doctor of your own sex? Have you only visited the one type?

Me, I'm female and I do prefer a female doctor. I find them more sensitive and willing to listen to my concerns. I've found the male doctors I've seen are fairly gruff. I had some *ahem* "female" troubles and the male doctor I saw wouldn't say the words vagina and vulva. He just referred to that area as my "bottom". It really made me doubt his abilities!

So how about you?

If it's for a pap smear or similar kind of check-up, I'd prefer a female doctor. Otherwise, a male doctor. The male doctors that I've seen have been pretty good to me.

My gyn is a female and I know this sounds weird...but she has great hands...not too big...but just right. And she is a very relaxed individual which makes the most uncomfortable procedures easier to endure.

My other doctor is a male and I am fine with him...though he makes me laugh far too much during a physical.

I must perfer women doctors myself. Both of my OBGYNs were and they were great. My regular doctor is a male, but I've known him and was his neighbor for a while and he is pretty cool too, but when it comes to OB stuff it's back to see the female, hey she's got one too right?

Unfortunately right now I just get to see whoever the doctor is in Health Services at my school (there are around 10 I think...I've seen 5 of them!). However my gynecologist is a woman and I can't stand her. I've only visited her once and she made me cry! She was actually down right rude to me. Other than her, I've had better experiences with female doctors.

it doesn't

matter much to me , me and my wife go to the same specilist at the same time, she is so wonderful, she sees us both in the same room which is a little unusaul, we get funny looks from the nurses, but i dont care, she is a great doctor, one of a kind she will e mail my wife weekley to see how she is doing , not very many would do that , but it really doesnt matter what sex they are if you are comfortable with them and you can communicate with them thats the main thing to me!!!

Considering I Hate Doctors. It really doesn't matter.

For anyone involved in the medical field my hatred is only because I have been in and out of the hospital toooooo much.
