"I worried I’d have no patients."
I was nervous about being a young, male gynecologist. Frankly, I worried I’d have no patients. But I’ve learned that some women still prefer male doctors, and it’s not for the reasons you might think. They say men are more sensitive on average, more responsive to their concerns. I’ve heard that men are better at pelvic exams because we’re so terrified of causing discomfort that we’re obsessively gentle. Male doctors are less dismissive of a woman’s problems because everything sounds so terrifying and horrifying to us since we don’t go through it. Like, tell us your period is heavy and we feel awful about it!

GET WELL SOON SILVER BULLET!
Some A-hole hit her and quit her last night. She's at the doctor's office now (not nscience's because he's not a dr. yet). Good news though, they said that she would make a full recovery. Of course she will. Feel better soon!

doctor's visit

kisabella went to the doctor today. i wanted to get his nails done and a beard trim, but they wouldnt do it because he hadn't had his last round of shots... so we went for shots.
while we were there, the nurse lady took blood and stool samples (yuck!) and went ahead and trimmed his toes and beard anyway. the results are in.... no heartworms, and no internal parasites! YIP!! bad news.... some significant tartar build up means i have to start brushing his tooths. he is going to h8 it.
did you know that white dogs bleed more than black doggies? thats what the nurse lady said.
