And i had teh exact opposite reaction to more than one female doctor - -because she had never experienced what I was going thru, she couldn't relate and didn't care. Male doctors, in my 20 + years of going to gynocologists, since they don't have our reproductive organs, make the effort to listen and to try and understand.
