Sorry ladies (or whatever you wish to be called), but persons born with what used to be considered male reproductive equipment, represent roughly half the world, and I feel they should be roughly 50% included in this line up of people who are going to cut into bodies and stitch them back up again. Thanks, but no thanks, I won't be requesting your slice and dice womaneuvers anytime soon.
Imagine the manipulation that has to happen for their to only be one male surgeon. Just one??? Statisicly... hold up, wait a minute, something ain't right???
I understand your concern. My husband had hip replacement surgery in Houston at Baylor. Our normal much recommended surgeon that we had seen before was an older black man booked for 6 months. We went with his second in command. Turned out to be a young 6 foot tall slender gorgeous blonde woman. It was concerning because she looked like a super model. Husband was in much pain and we decided our concerns were all about "looks".
Husband had a fabulous surgery and recovery. At the hospital the nurses would give the normal "do this not that" instructions, but would stop and say no " you are Dr. Palisch's patient. You don't have those instructions". He was back bossing in one week and climbing (slowly) 3 flights of stairs to bid a job in three weeks. She is now married and at Kelsey Seybold. I looked because we wanted to use her for another surgery. She is out of network. Best orthopedic surgeon ever. Judge based on results. Both of these surgeons deserve credit for being excellent in their field.
