Interesting topic and I totally agree with Quincy. I notice when my husband tags along on my appointments the doctor, be it male or female, is much more responsive. I also believe that female doctors are not as sympathetic to female patients as male doctors.

I find the opposite to be true. My OB/GYN told me (when she was still in school) if a woman said she was in the worst pain of her life she knew she needed to prescribe Percocet at the minimum. On the otherhand if a man told her it was the worst pain of his life she would generally prescribe darvocet and most would never say it wasn't helping their pain. She tends to believe that women deal with pain better than men and when a woman starts saying she needs something for pain she is in bad shape.

Now my doc is not like the majority of docs, she believes that I know my body better than she does and if I feel something is wrong, there is something wrong. Even if she doesn't know right away that something is wrong she doesn't discount what I say she persues more diagnostic procedures. She also doesn't have a problem with me telling her about procedures or treatments I have read about and she will always check into them. She also will do something I haven't seen a lot of docs do. If she doesn't know something, she will say, "I do not know, but I do know how to find the answers and I will and then will get back with you." She doesn't seem to have a God complex at all. Once she was out of town and one of the male partners really discounted what I said and when she got back I called her and she let that doc have it. She told him that if her patients said something was wrong or were in pain they were not to ever be discounted. The male doc did that with a couple more and she yanked her very, very busy practice right out of there.
