For example (and this is only one example), you might think that a man would be better for giving prostate exams, as he could relate to it being done to him. But you would be wrong to think that. Women tend to have softer, smaller hands, and they also tend to be more gentle. Also, I have never had a female doctor fail to listen to what I was saying about why I was there. I have, however, had a couple of male doctors focus on some minor nothing instead of paying attention to what I was saying about why the hell I was paying to see a doctor. I do not plan on ever seeing a male GP ever again. Only when I am referred to a specialist of some kind will I go to a male doctor. Without exception, the only total asshole doctors I have encountered have been men.
My advice, whether you are male or female, is to go to a female doctor. If you want someone to treat you like shit, go to a man, as your odds of being treated like shit will be much greater, judging from my experience (as well as the experience of everyone to whom I have spoken on this subject).
Of course, not all men are worthless pieces of shit, but way too many of them are.
When feminists say that women are equal to men, they are wrong. Women are better than men.
Oh, I know plenty of decent male doctors. Hell, my favourite GP is my Dad.
If it helps to know, more and more women are becoming doctors. nearly 30% of my class were women.
It's a field that will no longer be dominated by men in the next 20 years.
Sure, there are some good male doctors. I have seen a few of them over the years. If I had not moved about so much, I might have stuck with one of them. But I have had much better luck with female doctors. And so I am glad that more women are becoming doctors.
