Doctors of the Opposite Gender
AsSalamu' Alaykum, 
Yes? No? Maybe? Don't care?
My general doctor is a female, but the other day I went for my first gyno visit and the doctor was a male. During the questionnaire part we were alone but when it came time for the actual procedure he had the female nurse come back in.
At first, I was a bit hesitant on who the male doctor would be. I think I would have been tense if the male doctor was a contemporary in age of mine. Fortunately, he turned out to be 40ish? and was actually a nice guy.
I couldn't help but to watch his eyes to see if they were looking for unnecessary reasons but they weren't, which pleased me and made me a lot more comfortable. Even if the doctor was female, I'd still check for that.
I do still wonder what motivates males into this particular medical field but I guess it's similar reasons as to why we have doctors that specialize in ass and feet. 
shadha-

Re: Doctors of the Opposite Gender

Re: Doctors of the Opposite Gender
All my doctors are females except for 2. And only one sees me unhijabified. I wouldn't mind seeing a male gyno, but the place I go is an all female practice. I think it works out better for me with my multiple problems.

Re: Doctors of the Opposite Gender
Eh, for gyn, I prefer a female doc, but for the most part I don't care. What is tougher for me is trying to figure out who it would be less awkward to go to, ie, who hasn't taught me in a class.  On the other hand, curbside consults are great, especially when the residents will write you prescriptions (pretty much no questions asked  ).

Re: Doctors of the Opposite Gender
It's a doctor. They're not looking at you, they're looking at your parts. It's like a mechanic for your body, it has nothing in the slightest to do with you, just fixing what's wrong.
And collecting a fatty paycheck.

Two doctors opened offices in a small town and put up a sign reading "Dr. Smith and Dr. Jones, Psychiatry and Proctology".
The town's fathers were not too happy with that sign, so they changed it to "Hysterias and Posteriors".
This was not acceptable either, so they changed the sign to "Schizoids and Hemorrhoids". No go.
So they tried "Catatonics and High Colonics". Thumbs down again.
So they tried "Manic-depressives and Anal-retentives." Still not good.
So they tried "Minds and Behinds". Unacceptable again.
So they tried "Lost Souls and Ass-holes". Still no go.
Nor did "Analysis and Anal Cysts," "Queers and Rears," "Nuts and Butts," "Freaks and Cheeks," or "Loons and Moons" work.
So they finally settled on "Dr. Smith and Dr. Jones, Odds and Ends".

Ahahaha.
Actually, when I was driving there I was thinking that I hope to God my doctor won't be a Muslim from my community.
Lol @ Vari

Re: Doctors of the Opposite Gender
ironically, every time i go to book an apt, the receptionist ALWAYS considers the fact that im a hijabi and asks for my gender preference. . but last time, she really felt bad when they're were booked, hence there weren't any available female docs. she kept asking if, "it was ok".
