Not sure why but... I REALLY struggle with having women examine me. I don't even like the nurses weighing and taking my BP before that doctor enters the room. I can't stand the female PA at my neurologists office and when I had some pre-op testing done I had to resist the urge to choke the nurse doing my EKG. There was no excuse for this reaction because she was being pleasant and treated me very professionally. I think I'm just a B@tch. However, when dealing with men I am much more tolerant of the exam and more cooperative.I also seem more willing to ask for what I need. Before I had my surgery, the nurses were on alert because my BP and HR was really high. I could tell they were monitoring it, asking me if I was feeling OK, and reporting to the physician. It wasn't until my physican came in that I admitted I asked for so some chill pills.

I don't remember being mistreated or abuse by any woman in childhood.. It is just weird.
