In most practices where thete are many doctors, all are available to be assigned to whatever patient is best suited to them.
If you made a comment that made the practice uncomfortable allowing you to see a femsle doctore it is THEIR RESPONSIBILITY to takr the action necessary to protect their doctors from whatever you said that made them feel that action was necessary even if nothing had occured at the tkme, there WAS something YOU SAID that made them feel this action was best fir all concerned.
Our reactions to things like that IS OUR RESPONSIBILITY as we are responsible for our own choices, actions & behaviors.
I am sorry that you ended up is such a situation. Maybe if you get some better clarification, you can understsnd what behavior you spoke about & chsnge so that situstions won't arise like this for you in the future. Use it as a learning experience.

Incorrect.
Utterly incorrect.
That was tantamount to discrimination. As I have repeatedly stated, the simple truth of the matter is that a doctor cannot discriminate against a patient on any grounds such as gender, age, sexuality, race etc etc; unless there is clear, justifiable grounds to do so, an actual genuine, legitimate risk of violence and or harm occurring to either staff and or patient.....
Furthermore, these concerns for the practice that you so piggishly spoke of, are somewhat undermined by the inconsistency of their response and the time frame. The comments were made on the 15th of October, and I saw the doctor to whom the comments concerned on the 28th of October. The practice would have had the power and even the obligation to refer me to a male GP, cancel the appointment etc etc, but they did not. It was only 3 months later, after I had made any contact with any of them, that the issue was THEN raised.
It should be noted that the psychiatrist whom I saw is currently under investigation and pending possibly losing her medical license due to the comments and remarks that she made to ME. That resulted in a full blown nervous breakdown, a suicide attempt, and numerous admissions to hospital as a vulnerable adult under police escort for my own safety. So I have most certainly been damaged by a DOCTOR.
So, I have had more than my fair share of inappropriate, uncomfortable behaviour at the hands of doctors, you know, those people whom you seem to so pompously defend to your semi-literate abilities.
Appropriate behaviour is a sword that cuts both ways, and indeed a compelling argument that due to the power imbalance it is THEY, the DOCTORS, who are to be held to a higher standard than the patient(s).
