male or female OB-GYN?
November 14, 2006
at 33, i have yet to have a pap smear/test. don't ask me why. the issue just never came up, i guess. or it did but i just always put it on the back burner.
so today, i was ready. i told myself i was just gonna grin and bear it. i was looking at that bed and i said to myself, "he's a doctor. he's seen everything. it won't be too bad."
but it didn't happen. because the hub and i voiced out that we've been wanting to have a baby, our primary care physician said that it would be better if i have all the tests done with my OB-GYN. he gave me a referral and that was that.
fast forward to choosing an OB-GYN. i had three choices: one female and two males. i chose one of the males, as he was recommended to me by one of the hub's nurse friend's wife who gave birth recently.
while most women would feel comfortable with a woman OB-GYN, i, surprisingly, don't share the same sentiment. maybe because the hub himself is a doctor (aside from being a nurse) and he tells me all the time that doctors see everything from a medical point of view and don't care however a certain body part looks. or maybe because I am just really curious about men OB-GYNs.
whatever it is, i've made my choice.
i have two weeks to get ready (again).

and with all this preoccupation about my pap test, i forgot to ask for my flu shot today.
