Sorry. I think the idea of being uncomfortable with a woman doctor is a bit unusual; many women seem to prefer female gynecologists because they think they know the equipment better and can be more empathetic.

Word. I think it's almost creepy to be uncomfortable with a doctor of your own sex. (Horses/courses and all that, I [grudgingly] suppose.)

Double Word. (Or should that be "word word" -- Str8?)
A member of my family (whose identity shall remain concealed) is a male gynecologist, and, if I had ever been inclined to see a male one, hearing the condescending, patronizing, rude way he speaks about his patients has sworn me off them for good. I'm sorry, but he just can't have any idea what certain things feel like, and the capacity for understanding is simply not the same.
Not that all male gynos are like this, but -- as you say -- all other things being equal, I'll pick the chick every time.
