All I can say is that you ran into the exception. I have bbeen in
Gynecology for 35 years and have never talked or thought that way. I
have trained residents for those 35 years (Dr. McIntosh and his wife
Lisa being two fo those that I have helped train.) I have never heard
anything like you mention.
BTW, I bet there are a few women Gyn's who might be caught making
similar comments about their patients. Please NOTICE the word FEW. This
type of behavior has nothing to do with the gender of the person
involved, it has to do with the immorality of the person involved.
