Changing Doctors.
« on: Oct 23, 2019, 09:42:47 PM »
Me & the wife signed up at a new Drs practice today & was quite surprised when the usual dragon receptionist said the Doctors are FEMALE , we don't have MALE doctors !I'm not fussy I said, a doctor is a doctor.Whatever next a gay doctor for a gay patient,? an Indian doctor for an Indian patient ?Typical PC madness again I fear.

I would have thought that it would be against the law to ban male doctors.  I think, in medical matters, one should be able to choose the sex of our doctor.

I changed surgeries a year or two back and the doctors there are all female. I have no problem with that. The only male professional is an excellent physiotherapist. A much better experience than my ex male-dominated practice.

We have a mix of both male and female Doctors, I'm glad too as I sometimes ask for an appointment with a female one. I'd be very ill at ease at times, not to mention embarrassed if I was forced to see a male Doctor.

We have male and female doctos too, sometimes it's hard to get an appointment with a female doctor as a couple of them only work part time.

I have never had a male doctor. My daughters asked if i could go with their doctors.
My son in law is a doctor. They are not supposed to treat their family.

I do not care what sex, race, colour or gender my doctor is as long as they are there when I need help.
 Last time I went to the doctor I saw a delightful Turkish lady..  She looked far too young through my old eyes.. She was one of the best doctors I have met in many a year..

Far more important for me, is if they can  speak English properly, rather than what sex.

One thing about going to a large clinic in an ethnic area is that there are doctors of various ethnic groups and both sexes. Personally I dont care - a doctor is a doctor. I imagine some of the veiled ladies DO care a lot.

That's quite easy to solve. Everyone is now entitled to decide on a hourly/daily/weekly basis what gender they want to be known/described/accepted as. A female doctor says that she decided this morning to want to be known and accepted as a male doctor for the day - normal service will resume tomorrow.

Well every time I've felt like a woman I've been able to find one.

  Not sure you're right about that GTS. Who was it said "Value peace where you find it." ?
