- Finding a good doctor can sometimes be a difficult task. If one
- immediately elminates half the sex, then one reduces the pool of
- good doctors he/she can choose from. Frankly I don't see what the
- doctor's sex has to do with it. I've been examined by men and women
- in the medical profession and feel equally comfortable with both.
-
- So I guess my answer is, "About the same as I feel about men doctors."
