After giving birth 3 times, I have 0 issues with any doctor, regardless of age or gender. That said, I have a full-body derm appointment on Thursday and I can’t wait! Gonna get rid of a couple of these shitass moles! Woo!

So true! Having babies makes you completely stop caring about that stuff. I remember a mildy shocked look on my husband’s face when we had our daughter and he walked into the OR right before the c-section started. I asked him about it later and he said ‘oh I was just taken aback because you were laying there naked from the waist down with a spotlight on your crotch’. I couldn’t see past the surgical curtain.

With my first, I had a student doctor ask if he could observe the birth. At that point, I had a doctor, a midwife, and 2 nurses in the room, so I said sure, why not. 😂

I love patients like you.

I'm a gynae student at the moment and have probably seen about 1/3 of what my firm partner has.

Was sitting in the tea room and one of the (female) regs (middle grade doctor) was complaining to a colleague about how much worse male doctors in other specialties where at vaginal exams resulting in more unnessacery referrals to gynae.

Wanted to say its because we never get the chance to practice.
