Did you notice the miniature bottle brushes at the bottom of the page? Man, they’ve got kitchen gizmos on the brain over there at medical supply.
I’m reminded of a skit I once saw on maybe SNL? Anyhow the male character ends up playing with an old fashioned hand cranked egg beater. And suddenly has a bright idea: “This would make a great sex toy!” And next moment he’s chasing the female character (his GF?) around the kitchen and living room set holding the egg beater business end up and cranking that thing like mad while laughing maniacally.
And not just kitchen gizmos. The gynecological cervical brush would be great for mustache grooming! And from the looks of it that disposable vaginal speculum can undoubtedly uncork wine bottles.
I’ve been assured by a (male) gynecologist, who is, after all, an expert on the female reproductive anatomy, that the cervix has very few pain nerves and that I therefore shouldn’t need any numbing for a cervical biopsy.
I just rescheduled the procedure with someone who wasn’t the ancient dude they found in a basement somewhere when my gynecologist went on maternity leave, and I told the office manager why. There used to be one fossil in every OB-GYN practice who thought women should keep quiet and do what they’re told; I’m thinking they must have all retired or died (or been killed by a patient whose cervix they just gouged) by now.
I’ve never had a male gynecologist and never will, however I’ve heard from other people they can be more gentle than female ones, who maybe take the attitude, “Well I get a period and I’m doing just fine. What’s the problem?”
Well now I can’t think of anything to bitch about that’s worse than a cervical biopsy.
Home from surgery, zonked on oxycodone. I’m told it went well (a saw pictures of the shredded meat–yuck). Thank og we found this power recliner yesterday! It’s kinda ugly but comfortable, with heat and massage. And marked down from $2500 to $1000, so score. Everyone has be very nice and very helpful. Maybe there’s hope for humanity after all?
Just to be clear, this was over 20 years ago! Which was also the last time I saw a male gynecologist, but I can say from experience that women can be extremely unsympathetic and some men very sensitive.
@Tride , I’m glad you’re recovering well so far! That was indeed a great deal for a power recliner, and as far as I’ve seen, they’re all more about function than form.
Why? My GP is female, and while I admit that early on I had some trepidations that at some point in my medical journey she might have to poke at my nether regions, it’s actually a very silly concern.
Oh, you didn’t know. My current GP is a guy so it’s not like I’m against having male medical professionals. I just find it difficult to overcome in that one situation.
