By following this logic, only females that have given birth are qualified to be Gynecologists. Likewise, all Oncologists must have terminal cancer. Etc...[/QUOT

Only a women who has given birth can tell you what to expect! Why? Because she has experienced it, a male Gynecologist never has! He could only give the experience of others, for what that is worth!

I have had 5 knee surgeries, two of which were major. Now who would rather listen to about what to expect in the way of pain and rehab. A doctor who has never had one or a person who has had five? I'd choose me. But you could choose the doctor. After all it is your choice.
