Question of the Day: Tues. June 8

Todays question is just completely random.

Is your family physician a male or female? Do you have a personal preference?

female. Actually, that is the same for all doctors, including eye doctor.

Female I prefer female doctrors, I trust women more
Just kidding...but I do prefer female doctors, I just think they are more in tune with what is happening with female hormones, etc...male doctors just can't sympathize. Maybe some can but I haven't met any who could. My experience with my male dermatologist treating my hormonal acne wasn't all that great for example

Male. I wish I had a female.

i have both, it was just a male but there are 2 locums in they are both rubbish though just original doctor

It's now a female, for years I went to a male Doctor but when my Mom's Doctor invited me to start coming to her, I happily made the switch.

Neither. I haven't been to an actual family doctor in years and years. The student health plan I had required that we go to the health clinic on campus, which was usually a big waste of time, so I haven't been to the doctor in ages. Now that a have a job with a decent insurance plan again, I'll probably be trying to find a decent doctor soon.

My doctor is male. I wish I had a female, but there isn't many in this town. I really like my doctor though.

Female and I do prefer a female.

My doctor is male. I would prefer a female, we live in a small community with a shortage of doctors. You take what you get.

It changes every 3 years. We use a training facility where the 'new' doctors do their internship. We've had a female for the last 3 years, but she's leaving this month.

Male. He's been my family doctor since I was 12. I've never actually had a female doctor so I don't have much of a basis for comparison.

male

no preference

Female. I don't really have a preference, but I would like a doctor who is from here or at least one who can speak English without a thick accent. My current one is from Sri Lanka and with her accent it's difficult to understand her.

At the moment both are male. Actually it makes no difference to me. I don't like going no matter who they are.

Male. Makes no difference to me, I just want someone who is competent.

My last personal physician was female, but I have switched to a new male doctor. My GYN doctor is male, too. They both are quite good and know their stuff.....that's of primary importance to me, more so than what gender they are.

Male. I do have a preference but it depends on the speciality. FOr example I like my family doc he has been my doc since I was a teenager. For my OB-GYN I prefer a female for obvious reasons. BUT for Orthopedics I prefer a male.
