I hate the fact that my mother is trying to get me to change my doctor. The only reason she has for wanting me to switch is because my doctor is male. He is a fantastic doctor and is genuinely concerned about my health. Somehow him being male and me being female is completely taboo and wrong in my mothers eyes. It may be a generational thing, but I can’t be certain. Part of the reason that I will not switch doctors, the part that I can’t tell her about, is the though of having a female doctor scares me. Having a woman doctor, and getting physicals or anything would be a trigger to past events that I just don’t want to think about. Hopefully she backs down.
