Late last night and this morning I was peeing blood, and BOY was I freaked out! Called the doc today and of course my male doctor who I love and trust was out and a woman doc was there. First words out of her month, of course after "is there any discharge from your penis", was "you have a problem with a woman doctor?". Dilemma with a capital "D"! Of course I said "No, not at all", but I had to admit I was a bit nervous. I know...I know...I consider myself an evolved man, but I still get a bit out of sorts when faced with a woman doctor and even a therapist. I have NO problem believing that woman can do these jobs as well as men. That's not it at all. What is it?....Is there anything wrong with wanting the same gender when it comes to your innermost feelings and body parts?.... Why do I feel more relaxed with such? Isn't there just a feeling of gender specific understanding that we all want when we feel vulnerable, like at the doctor?
So...being as I have absolutely NO traffic on my site, how about some people chiming in on this dilemma. It's not that I didn't do fine with the woman doc, I just could not relax like I wanted to. What do you think? Is there some things that will always be gender specific?
Oh...by the way...I have a urinary/bladder infection. At least that is the consensus prior to the urine analysis. Of course when I called into work and a female coworker answered and said, "men don't get those, do they?"
