Women Doctors: Would You Have One at Your Hospital Bedside???

[annsni]

Annsi, I'm praying for you and especially for your husband.

Thank you. We always appreciate prayer but I'm sure your requests will be different than what are actually needed.

Oh, and I'm glad that someone quoted your post before you could edit it since I can see your true heart.

And no, I'm not going to edit my post because I'm still waiting for the proof that I attacked your children. I haven't seen it yet so there's nothing to change.

While it's true that I did initially answer your rude and insulting posts in kind, it's equally true that I realized right away that I had sinned and repented of that sin, both in prayer and in deed.

You say that shows my "true heart", but I say that the fact that you chose to attack me and insult me completely unprovoked shows your true heart. What's more, reveling in your insulting words shows even more of your true heart.

And no, I'm not going to edit my post because I'm still waiting for the proof that I attacked your children. I haven't seen it yet so there's nothing to change.

Actually, you've been shown several times where you and menageriekeeper attacked our children before the thread on television was closed. In fact, menageriekeeper even had the moral clarity to apologize for her part in the attacks and try, somewhat, to make ammends.

I stand by what I said. You brought in a false accusation that I insulted your children. I called you a 5 year old for your bitter attitude. I stand by what I say. My true heart is fine. I see people tossing false accusations and I recall children doing the same thing. "She hit me 3 weeks ago!" when it is untrue. That's the way children try to take the focus off of them but adults deal with the situation at hand. You say you repented but you never apologized to me did you? So again, I say I can see your true heart in your posting.

Actually, you've been shown several times where you and menageriekeeper attacked our children before the thread on television was closed. In fact, menageriekeeper even had the moral clarity to apologize for her part in the attacks and try, somewhat, to make ammends.

Accusations stated:

* I insulted your children somewhere on this board
* It's been shown several times where I did so

I'd like supporting proof for this please. I'm not MK. I'm me. Show me proof where *I* did these things and where it was shown to me several times. Your accusations are not enough.

So, keeping things to real life situations, no, I would not have a woman doctor. While I'm sure that she would be professional and everything would be strictly clinical, I don't think that it would be either wise or prudent. I'm a sinner. I know myself. Why put myself into a situation where I could be tempted to sin? She's a sinner. Why put her into a situation where she might be tempted to sin.

I think you have lost your ever loving mind. If it had not been for a woman who found the six clogged arteries and veins going in and out of my heart, that lead to a six way CABG operation, I would now be dead. There is no difference between a man and a woman doctor. It is a professional situation, and at times, a life and death situation.

If you cannot tell the difference between a massage parlor and a hospital, or see a temptation behind every situation in life, especially medical ones, then you got problems.

I wanted to ask this question, especially of those men who see the role of women restricted to the home - barefoot, pregnant, raising the kids, making the meals, cleaning the house, and being at the beckon-call of her male counter-part - if they would consider using a female surgeon for, let's say, a life threatening illness, such as, a quadruple heart by-pass.

==For me it is not hypothetical. My primary doctor is a woman. I am not ashamed by this since she is a very, very good doctor. She keeps my asthma under control and has done very good helping me with my GAD (general anxiety disorder). I don't see it as being any different than a woman going to a male doctor. So I would have no trouble with a woman surgeon. My last two surgeries (2007) were sinus surgeries and were done by a man. Not for any reason other than he was the one I was referred to and he was very good. I don't see a problem either way.

I have never had a woman as my primary GP. Our doctor's surgery does have a couple of women doctors on staff, and I have used them when my doctor has been out. It hasn't phased me at all and I honestly cannot perceive of why it would be a problem??

 

[Martin]

Yes, I know you're all going to call me a pharisee, but that's just the standard I hold myself to because I feel that's the standard God would hold me to.

==Not me. I think you are wise to know your standards and weaknesses. If going to a female doctor would cause me problems I would not go either. Personally it does not cause me any trouble at all. My brother is a licensed massage therapist so I can get a massage anytime I want and it not be an issue. Would I go to a female licensed massage therapist? Probably not. Not because I would be tempted or anything like that. I would not because (a) the appearance of evil and (b) I am too cheap to pay for something I can get for free.

NT...not going to feed the trolls

[snipped]

Still no proof. Wonder why??

 

[annsni]

Yeah, I guess you could call being able to walk upright without excruciating pain "pleasure". I tend to think of it more along the lines of being able to manage my pain and nerve issues so that I can live a normal life.

And, just so you know, a doctor does far more than just give shots. If all he did was give shots, then I wouldn't have to wear that little gown when I go to see him.

But thank you for not attacking my children this time.

Who was the one who went off topic?

I have no idea who NT is, but in this thread, the troll is the one who posted the outrageous message.

If seeing a woman doctor is a problem then don't see one. Just don't make it wrong for me to do so. Then I will have a problem with your opinion.

It is real simple, isn't it?

 

[GBC Pastor]

No problem at all with a woman doctor/surgeon. I've had a woman as my primary care physician and as the surgeon during a procedure to remove a tumor in the roof of my mouth. Never had a problem.

Although having to do the old, "turn your head and cough" for my football physical my freshman year of high school with a female doctor was a bit embarassing for us boys. That's the only time I can recall being uncomfortable with a woman doctor.

 

[Dr. Bob]

There have been so many topics on women, and their roles in this world.

My WIFE is my doctor. I would not want anyone else for my primary care! I am suffering from horrible allergies with the change in seasons today (difficult sleep with CPAP forcing a gallon of mucus down the throat, etc - tmi?? ) and she is helping me.

HARD to take orders from the wife, but hey, we've been married 40 years so I'm used to it.

That was a great post. Had it not been for women in the medical field, I would not be here. Hats off to everyone of them, and praise the Lord for giving them the skill to save lives.

Hi Righteous dude;

So, while my question is PURELY hypothetical, I wanted to ask this question, especially of those men who see the role of women restricted to the home - barefoot, pregnant, raising the kids, making the meals, cleaning the house, and being at the beckon-call of her male counter-part - if they would consider using a female surgeon for, let's say, a life threatening illness, such as, a quadruple heart by-pass.

The thought behind my question is simple. You need this surgery, and she is the only doctor who can do this surgery. She's considered the very best, never lost a patient, and a male doctor is not available at any time, for any cost, in time to operate aand serve you, the patient???

The clock is running, it's your turn to answer this highly hypothetical question.

I see a female doctor on a regular bases. I haven't needed any heart surgery but in a way I do trust her more than the last doctor I had which was male. The reason I switched is because the man quite frankly was suffering from delusions of godhood. He actually thought well too much of himself. He was always boasting about what a good quality doctor he was and how lucky I was to have him. I suspected he may have been using drugs because his pupils were so small I could barely see them and he was so hyper.

To make a long story short I searched out a female doctor on purpose because of how a nurse treated me the last time I was in the hospital. She was caring and sensetive to my illness and she never embarassed me.

My neighbor gave me his doctors name and I made an appointment. She is an older lady very professional and respectful of her patients. She doesn't seem to have a big ego but she does take pride in her work. Most importantly she's a Christian. I believe she thinks of her job as more than just money. She is certainly more dedicated to her patients well being than any other doctor I've been to.

I get a little nervous when I have to dis robe. I never like taking my clothes off. It is awkward but I get past it.

Now I know how my wife must of felt when she went to a male doctor.

How'd I manage to cause trouble on a thread where I haven't posted yet?

On to the OP!

I love my woman primary care doc! My SON loves her too! She is a great doc and easily goes between my rather opinionated self and my son's more reticent personality. She cares for my daughters as well.

We've had good men docs as well. I think both sexes have something of value to offer their patients and I really appreciate having a choice.

My grandmother died at age 61 because my grandfather wouldn't allow her to see a man doctor and there were no women doctors available because at the time, women were supposed to be barefoot and pregnant. And that is what Gramma was from the time she was 15 until she was 46. Not a speck of heath care cause Granpa wouldn't allow it. (health care was available, just it was all men) Of course hindsight is 20/20 but Granpa certainly took himself to the doc when just four short years later he developed heart problems.

This was a double standard worth fighting. Granpa did all the work of that for our family though, cause we all might be country, but we ain't stupid. When Gramma died the entire family of 14 kids and somewhere around 70 cousins (1st) fell apart. I haven't seen most of them since his funeral in 1978 and not all bothered to come to his funeral. Most of the blame falls squarely on his decision to keep Gramma from a doctor in spite of the wishes of his grown children.

Personally, I don't see any scriptural evidence for not allowing women to become doctors or for individuals to see a doctor of the opposite sex.
