being judge by the doctors


Recommended Posts

I definitely recommend looking for another doctor. If there are organizations in your area that offer resources for gay men, try seeing if they can offer referrals. I lucked out when one of the docs I was seeing for another health issue brought up my status when I was 18 and I hadn’t been tested. He gave me a name of doc and I contacted him. The doc was gay and specialized in treating those with HIV. He was great and  I was sad when he retired. But before he left, he gave recommendations and I’ve had gay primary care docs ever since with no judgements ever from them. It’s been “ok… gotcha… then this is what we can do.”

Not in meet the doctor that do wonder about a couple of things. One is maybe doctor had some sort of religious background on how talked. Because in the USA some pharmacists have a religious beliefs to not want to fill prescriptions for something against own beliefs, but the patient may need prescription or have own values that fine with taking. In short not sure if one have religious objections why a Pharmacist, doctor or medical official? On the other side maybe doctor express concerns but did in a poor way.

In my own experience ran across a doctor that later left me upset. First seemed to just out of door. Next is later bothered me on referrals that I not requested. Also the letter of referral not give a address so not know where to go. At least have address or addresses of referrals for clinic or medical office. Because last thing want to do is go all over trying to go to some office.

Ultimately I made own decision and would not want to see doctor again. I would as read other posts think more of a gay friendly doctor to see.
