My experience is probably not what you mean, but I very much appreciated the way my previous female family doctor would deal with me. You know how many doctors are standoff-ish and spend just a few minutes with you? When my PrevFamilyDoctor was dealing with an issue, her touch was more caring, like a nurse? Like a mother? Just the way she touched me -I could tell she cared.

You would think it would be triggering for me because of what I've been through, but it wasn't. After what I've been through, it was very healing to have those experiences with her.

I'm sorry she's not my doctor anymore.
