I see that you ended up with the student because you did not want an appointment with an established male doctor. That is something I could never understand about women who have preference for female gynecological practictioners. Sure, a very hands-on midwife or doula who literally holds you and breathes through every contraction with you - that person should be a down-to-earth, emphathetic female. But just for the exam, who cares about the gender? I have had PAP smears done by men and women, IUD's placed and removed by men and women - there is absolutely no difference. The bedside manner, quality of care, professionalism, and attention are all the same. If you start accepting males as your gynecologic providers, your pool of available providers will increase more than twofold - it is worth it.
