All I wish to say is that this site has helped me immensely. I found out everything about my OB/GYN condition. I have met some very nice people with the same condition that I talk to in email. I have responded to others with the same problem in the hope that they don't feel so alone. Because of this site, I have complete faith and trust in my doctor (who is a male). It was actually Dr. Hill who helped me see that a good doctor should be treasured, male or female. I have an incredible relationship with my doctor and his staff. I'm very thankful that my past bigotry (I irrationally prefered a woman over a man) didn't keep me from losing the best doctor I've ever had.

I know that there are a lot of male doctors posting here. I'm thankful that these kind, busy, doctors take time out of their day to help a stranger. And that's what this site is about: people helping people. I'm just glad that I can be a part of it.
