Maybe cause I"m young, but I haven't had too much trouble with doctors. Most of my doctors have been female, though, or through the military. I always liked going to the military hospitals (men in uniform aside...) because they're always on top of things. When I had the lump in my breast, I went to the military base hospital and everything was taken care of in a week -- exam, biopsy, and removal. Though... Military doctors aren't the best for mental health stuff...

But in regards to just plain shopping, like Lynn brought up, I feel that it's the total opposite. The prettier and younger the girl is (like college/high school age) the more attention they get. I find this extremely annoying, probably more annoying than if a man gets better service. What exactly makes her prettier, or more worthy of better service than me??

Fresia, I was wondering how long you had been with your doctor. Maybe if you have been with him forever and have grown up with him, maybe he still treats you like a child because he still thinks of you as a child (you know, how parents do that?). I dunno, he could just be inconsiderate. I'm sorry he's not more respectful towards you.
