I don't care. As long as he/she is a good doctor, the sex doesn't matter to me. - Holger Eilhard

I prefer having a female doctor. I'm just more comfortable with women in general. - josh neff, Fun Dip of FF

Dentists have always been male, every other doctor I've ever seen has been female. - pea ♥ fierce as a woozle

No preference... but historically, I've liked my male doctors more. - Jen (SquirrelGirl)

does not matter as long as they know what they are doing................... - VAL D.

I've never had a female doc. Not by choice, it's just kinda worked out that way. - suzanne from iPhone

I think my preference for femal doctors started when I went to a male OBGYN who called me into his office (after the exam), slapped a bible on his desk and laid a prepared sermon on me about the sins of premarital sex. - Shannon

Like many guys, I've had the fantasies about the hot nurses and female doctors, but in all seriousness, I really don't care what sex the doctor is as long as they do a good job - Ian May

I would rather have a female doctor so that when I need to "turn my head and cough" it would brighten that day - Outsanity & Kate + Hate

Ive had all male dr's all my life .. and recently had to switch to a female Dr .. she's great ... - johnpiercy

I've only had four doctors all my life actually. All male. The first and third are dead now. The second one got struck off. - Ian May

Aw man, I read this as "I prefer a sex doctor." The regular kind doesn't seem as fun, no matter what their sexuality is. - Noah Belson

I don't really care as long as it's a good doctor. - John (a.k.a. dendroica)

I ultimately want a good doctor, but I must say that I really like my current doctor (who happens to be female). It's nice when the doctor knows first-hand what it's like to deal with the speculum. - Katy S

@Shannon - That is AWFUL! I hope you let him know what you thought of that "treatment". Geeze. I prefer female OBGyn because I had a bad experience with the male one I had when I was pregnant. I am currently in need of a GP but my last one was male and I really liked him (he moved his office across town though so I had to quit seeing him). I would probably pick a woman if I have to choose one out of the insurance directory, but I'll take either for a GP if they have a good recommendation. - Her Lindsay-ness

I'm just happy to have a doctor that will stay at my surgery for more than a few months. Seems every time I get a decent doctor and they get to know me and my particular foibles, they up and move to a different practice. I'm beginning to get a complex :-) - Slippy "Threadsbane" Lane

I like having a female doctor, my only problem is that I find it hard to discuss certain things with her. Fortunately I can book appointments with one of the male doctors at her office if need be, yay socialized healthcare! - Chris, Taskerrific Guy

Having lived with both tax-based, and insurance-based healthcare, I know which one I've been most happy with, both for me and my family - Ian May

With doctors I don't care so much, but I only want a female dentist. Why? Because my mouth doesn't open very wide, and the spaces between my teeth are really tight, and I only want someone with dainty hands mucking about in there. - cecily

I'd prefer a female GYN as she would be more likely to understand how things "feel" down there. I have a male GP who is as young as my Kid and I think he's great because he's one of the new school who acts as a partner to the patient, not an authority figure. And he is going to outlast me, I hope, and not move on to a fancier practice. - m9m, Crone of FriendFeed

The last female OBGYN I had wore an engagement ring the size of a golf ball. She double gloved that hand but it still wasn't particularly... Comfortable =/ - FFing Enigma (aka Tina)

I have no preference. A female gynecologist once told me my periods were bad because I am a redhead. Several years later I saw a male doc for the same symptoms. He immediately suspected endometriosis, a condition that could be improved with surgery, he operated and my life improved drastically. Male, female, I don't care if they are competent. - Heather Solos

Guy doctors. Female doctors are evil. </hyperbole> - Anika

I don't think I would care, but I've only ever had a male doc so can't really say for sure. - Kenton

I've always had male Internists for doctors but the majority of my Ob Gyns have been female. Kind of prefer it that way. - Bonnie Foster from iPod

LOL...I should have said CERTAIN people :D - Shannon

hmm. and I'm sure D will say he's certain his roommate deserves one sometimes. :D - pea ♥ fierce as a woozle

That bitch probably has one. O_o - Derrick

Actually, that was a big smiley and not a reference to my D ... however, the next time he leave the pickle jar lid just laying on the jar so that when I pick it up it falls and slings pickle juice everwhere I might consider it - hah! - Shannon

I was afraid if I said anything about 'leisure' I'd offend the housewives out there, lol. I'm really, hugly sick of people today (customers and sales reps especially) - Shannon

fuck offending people. i just wanna win the lottery and do nothing but stay at home and read. I dare anyone to tell me that they wouldn't prefer that over doing chores. UGH. no. ... in other non-ranty news: i'm sorry today sucks for you. - pea ♥ fierce as a woozle

Me to. I got this in an email today "I did not suggest that. That kind of confrontational and defensive response doesn’t help anything other than create problems between me and you." The truth is he did suggest it but in such a veiled way I was forced to ask him what he meant. This isnt the first time we've tangled. When D and I were talking marriage he said "Well, a guy couldn't do much better than marrying an agents daughter" meaning I could be coming into money someday. - Shannon

He's an ass...I shouldnt let him push my buttons - Shannon

ah but knowing you shouldn't let someone push your buttons isn't the same as being able to stop it from happening. we all have our triggers. maybe a quick walk around the block will help a bit? - pea ♥ fierce as a woozle

See...there's where I'm going wrong...you think walk...I think chocolate . - Shannon

i hope that my usual, "whoa, that's pretty" came through in the above eek. it's just, you know, a spider. not a fan of spiders. :D - pea ♥ fierce as a woozle

yes. very creepy and very cool. also: i envy your mad lampworking skillz. - tiffany

Lubrication FTW! Wait, that was the point, yes? - pea ♥ fierce as a woozle

I wasnt sure if it would be 'lubrication' or 'jerk' that got a response, LOL - Shannon
