Female doctors for son? (plus a rant, I can't stand doctors sometimes!)?
So I am very displeased with my son's doctor. He has had this horrible cold for 3 weeks. First it was bronciolitis. Went for a 2 week check up, he was so much worse. We were told it was a virus. He did no blood work nothing, just listened to him. We were given a steroid and were told to continue breathing treatments. 3 days later, he still has a fever of 100, horrible wet cough, threw up (something new), and was so congested. We called his doctor, he sent us to the hospital (was upset he didn't want us to come in again) and then said follow up with me in a few days. So they did an x-ray, negative, blood work looked fine except they were running a test for Pertussis and it won't be back for a few days (hoping it's negative as well). So I called to make an appointment in 3-5 days as his doctor had told us. Come to find out, he is leaving for a vacation for a week and leaves today! It's not that he was taking a vacation, everyone deserves one, but don't tell me to come in and then you are going to be out of town! Anywho, so we are looking for a new doctor. I found a few really good ones (based on reviews). Only issue, they are female. I don't doubt that females aren't as good as males. My worry is when he gets older, if he will feel ok with a female doctor doing his check ups (mostly the whole hernia check). Anyone have any experience, either positive or negative with a female doctor and their son? Sorry it's long but thanks ladies!
