I have noticed quite abit of post around her pertaining to men going into the field of OB/GYN. Now I have to say, I myself have no desire to go into OB/GYN but would like to discuss this issue a bit. Oddly enough, for some reason, in my education, I have ended up working with many male OB/GYN's and this is what I have come up with:
1) Guys that go into OB/GYN are all over the surgical aspect of the profession! For some reason, I have noticed that male OB/GYN's are happiest in the OR and tend to be great surgeons, most are very anal and become perfectionist while doing gyn surgery! Now please, don't anybody take this the wrong way, I am not saying that women gynecologist suck at surgery, I am just noting that male gynecologist are fascinated by gyn surgery and seem to enjoy it more than any other aspect of their job!
2) Gyn Oncology!!! For some reason, everybody I talk to has some guy friend that is now doing his fellowship in gyn oncology. I am not sure why gyn oncology attracts men, but for some reason, it does.
3) Infertility medicine!! Many guys I know that are a part of this profession are "family men". They have wives, they have children, they live for their family. And many of them, as it turns out, had to seek professional help themselves in the area of fertiliity medicine.
I suppose to say that any man who is a gynecologist is a pervert is very easy to say!! But consider this, in medicine in general, there are many sensitive exams that must be performed. There are many occassions in medicine where a patient has to dis-robe. So I guess what my opinion is this, forget gynecology, if you truely are a pervert, you don't belong in any branch of medicine!!!
