However... not all women, and not all gynecologists, have that empathy.

Exactly what I was going to say. I prefer female doctors as a rule because the male doctors I had to go to while I was in college thought they knew everything there was to know about "girl problems" when they really didn't know jack. However, I have been to lady doctors who would barely give you the time of day, much less answer any questions or explain anything.
