Offer Upgrade  User ID: 15455863  United States11/13/2012 10:39 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Doctors office has cut me off because I declined an appt with a female doctor and instead asked for a male doc. So I called my docs office this morning, asked for an appt for my child. They had an opening tomorrow but it was with one of their female doctors. Well I wasn't interested so I told them as much, politely of course, and I asked to see a male doctor instead. Wouldn't you know it..they mysteriously and suddenly have ZERO openings, for a month, to see a male doctor. I was rejected.  What the fuck is going on with people these days?!!? I thought it was my right to choose a doctor I was comfortable with. And the LORD spake, saying, "First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin, then shalt thou count to three, no more, no less. Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thy foe, who being naughty in My sight, shall snuff it. I am an evil giraffe, and I shall eat more leaves from this tree than perhaps I should, so that other giraffes may die. |

Why wouldn't I be able to find any doctor? I live in America, not some 3rd world country and since I do live in America I should be able to choose whichever doctor I want without getting the shaft because I don't want to see one that has a vagina.

Thats wrong your the patient you hire and fire them not the other way around. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 13944728 Apparently not in this case. I don't like female doctors, their bedside manner is crap, they're not very friendly or caring. I'm speaking from my experience with them only. I know there are good female docs out there, just not wanting to deal with the same wet blanket I got stuck with last time. I can't believe the attitude I got for simply asking for a male instead. And the LORD spake, saying, "First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin, then shalt thou count to three, no more, no less.

There is enough imbalance in the physician-patient relationship that already places the lion's share of power in the doctor, not the patient. Lets not add to that by stripping patients of their right to choose whether to enter a treating relationship or not. |

Holy crap. imagine beeing forced to see a male doctor when you have a problem with your dick. how embarrassing. Female doctors cannot be trusted in such situations.

If the guy has a preference for a particular doctor, and is expected and understood by law to have consented to treatment under that physician, he has a right, surely, to reject any doctor he wants for any reason, whether gender or otherwise. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 27636366 Besides at about $100 for a typical twelve minute office visit, plus the wait, shouldn't he get his money's worth? Not on GLP! We seem to have a lot of hateful feminist bitches here that feel slighted because I don't want a woman to treat my child. Apparently their pussy makes them superior. In any case I've switched practices and I've made an appt with a doctor I approve of. I'm just surprised that so many people here think it's appropriate to cut off services to a patient because they prefer one doctor over another. And the LORD spake, saying, "First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin, then shalt thou count to three, no more, no less. Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three.

Was it really a "doctor" or a nurse practitioner? Quoting: Anonymous Coward 24156714 The days of seeing a real Dr are about gone. It's always a doctor. I've bounced around to a few different places to try and find an office that is a good fit for me and my children.

For what it's worth, my kids go to an office where there are two female doctors and one male doctor. We can usually get in much sooner if we make the appointment with one of the females. The last time we made an appointment with the male, it took two months. Wake up, oh sleeper, and rise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you |

The fact that the Female doctor has so few patients, may result in her taking it out on the receptionist, causing you more problems. Try finding a new doctor to go to. |

Each to their own. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 628775 I personally love my FEMALE physician. She is much more attentive and listens much better than the male doctors I have seen. Your loss op. Listen, I've seen 2 female doctors at that practice, I didn't care for those two in particular. I wanted a change. It's not horrible, it's not mean or cruel. I had a female pediatrician that I loved years ago, she took care of my daughter when she was young. She had children of her own and cut her hours back, eventually quitting all together. Since then I haven't found a female doc that was as good as her so I stick to the men. I don't rule out female MD's in general, it's just these particular docs I have an issue with. And the LORD spake, saying, "First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin, then shalt thou count to three, no more, no less.
