i'm big on the female perspective, but i'm also HUGE on having a female nurse practitioner do everything. most NP have more 'hands on' experience and more practically oriented training.
generally speaking, my male gyno experiences have been pretty icky. one told me, during my cervical biopsy, that it wouldn't hurt much (kinda like menstrual cramping) because there 'weren't a lot of nerve endings there' - needless to say I DOES FREAKING HURT YOU stupid $hit. grrrrrrrrrrr, that trauma still affects me.
in general, i've always felt more judged by male doctors and i don't get the feeling that they 'understand'. just last week i had a male doc who felt the NEED to push on my bladder to check for signs of a UTI even AFTER the urine culture came back positive and I TOLD him i've got one and my chart shows a HISTORY of them. what kinda sick person truly needs to do that? one who just doesn't know what it is like to have a bladder infection. thats who. grrrrrrrrrrr...
sorry for the rant. GO FEMALE DOCS!
