Re: casual research questionFrom: D. Ashley Hill (dahmd@cfl.rr.com)Thu Jun 28 16:55:34 2007
Despite my gender-ambiguous name, I'm not into the metrosexual thing. (However, come to think of it, my wife inexplicably thinks Hugh Grant is pretty hot). A few years ago, when there was a big push in our area for women to see women physicians, I suspected that male ob/gyn physicians had to "try harder" than their female counterparts. My gut feeling is that there is still a group of women who only want a female physician, but that many who switched to women now look for the best doctor, regardless of gender. I think a spinoff of this issue is that many males remember the tough times and are determined to remain marketable, so perhaps they try to create a sense of compassion (which hopefully is intrinsic and not forced). OTOH, I have heard a few female ob/gyn physicians in our community make comments about (and sometimes to) patients that are shockingly inappropriate and much worse than any comment I have ever heard by a male physician. My perception is that they often get a pass. Have a good w/e. Ashley

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
