Marital Problems And My Gyn Is Trying To Counsel Me?

This Question From Gynecology Jokes | 11 Answers


QUESTION:

I really just wanted a GYN. The first appointment with my new GYN he asked me about whether or not I’d have more children. He said I should. I told him how my husband is not ready. Then he said “so your husband is immature”. Then I mentioned to him my weight loss briefly. The doctor suggests curves to have muscle too. Then when he did breast exam he said “well I guess you know you are not well-endowed so therefore you can do your self-breast exam in the shower”
I remember the not well-endowed word made me uncomfortable cuz I always heard it used to joke about male genitalia. Then yesterday I saw him. I gained a lot of weight since last year. The doctor asked what it is that has been stressful to cause my weight gain. I mentioned my husband getting drunk recently and hurting himself so I have to take care of my husband because he is unable to walk right now. Then the doctor starts throwing the word DIVORCE around. so I said to him, “well I believe that you marry once and only once”. Immediately, my doctor put his head down and made a face like he was thinking probably …OMG she didn’t just say that. Then he throws around word divorce some more. Then at the end of my GYN pap smear appointment he says he recommends I see a counselor and says to me, “you know I really think you do not like yourself at all”.
Is my GYN bizarre and unprofessional or is this supposed to be normal?

    Get a new GYN and report this guy to the medical board. Your marriage and weight gain is none of his business. Also, his underhanded remark about your not being “Well-endowed” is extremely underhanded and unprofessional. He is definitely within bounds to discuss the self-exam, but not to mention the size of your breasts. Plus, if you wanted an editorial about your emotional state, you would have asked for one. What a quack.

    Your GYN is very unprofessional… You should seek another doctor, then discuss this with the new GYN… you may be wise to report him.
    If he wants to be giving advice he should have been a therapist.. probably just a perv who never got any, and decided to go into a profession where he sees it daily… What a sicko…

    You need a new GYN and you need to tell his office about his comments. He is there to provide you service in womens health, not philosophies of life.

    If you are uncomfortable with your doctor, for any reason – switch doctors. There are plenty of them out there…

    the “well-endowed” thing is good enough reason by itself that you should start going to a different gyn, he’s an idiot
