That's what you get for letting a girl be your doctor.
Well, the SHE Dr. wasn't the idiot so much as the second male Dr. who decided it had to be MRSA since it didn't go away. He should have swabbed me as it is a serious diagnosis/ treatment which easily could have been identified. He was the weekend guy and was probably in a hurry. My regular Dr. who I was able to see later on (the first two were covering Drs.) said it was too late to test for it since I had already started the insane meds Dr. Idiot prescribed. I didn't get angry at the woman Doc because based on the appearance of the sores and my current situation, it was a good call... when it did not go away after the round of meds, that's when it should have been looked at more seriously.
For the record I work with Doctors directly and being a man certainly does not make you a better Doc. Actually, because of this stereotype most female Docs are twice as educated and devoted as to make up for this, because they are fully aware of what they are up against. Actually I think minorities are in the same boat. They have to work twice as hard in college to prove themselves because in reality people stereotype.
This is true for the training as well. I trained with almost all men and I held myself to their standards, so I trained twice as hard and worked twice as hard to get the respect from them that I needed. I have seen this as a problem in gyms though. Where the girl is being protected from training or the guys don't know what to do with her, so she doesn't get the sparring she needs or the pressure she needs and gets her ass kicked in the fight. It's not too common, but when I see it I am bothered by it.
