Key Discussion Points and Insights

The Mathematical Reality: There Has To Be a "Worst"

• [01:47] Host: "Honestly, when you look at any profession, if you look at it mathematically, there has to be the worst of any profession. So there has to be the worst teacher... the worst pilot... And there has to be the worst OB-GYN."
• Opens the floor for listeners to call in with stories.

Awkward, Inappropriate, or Insensitive GYN Moments

• [02:18] Paige from Giggly Squad: Shares a friend's horrifying experience:

  • Doctor, while conducting the exam, looks up and says to the patient, “Well, you certainly are deep... Just like your mom.”
  • Memorable group reaction: “Oh, my God.” ([02:31])
  • Tone: Shocked, dismayed, lots of incredulous laughter.

• [02:52] Female Caller 1: Speaks about a friend whose gyno advised:

  • “If you don’t use it, you’ll lose it.” ([03:14])
  • Host verifies: “He actually said those words?” ([03:16])

• [03:25] Host: Ponders if male gynecologists might be more insensitive than female ones—debate ensues.

  • [03:33] Female Caller 2: Disagrees, saying it depends on the person: “So many of my friends see male doctors, male OB-GYNs, and absolutely adore them... but I have to go to a female doctor.”
  • Shares a story where a male gynecologist became visibly flustered/nervous during her early visits, leaving her uncomfortable.
    • “Dry mouth, sweaty palms, nervousness... From there on out, I’m like female, female doctor, please.” ([04:28])

• [04:46] Shannon (Caller): While shadowing during a nursing clinical rotation, she observed a doctor say to a patient after her third miscarriage and a D&C:

  • “He thought that she needed to get a new hobby.” ([05:02])
  • Host: “That’s worse than rude. That’s just mean.” ([05:11])

• [05:28] Tiffany (Caller): Discusses her first male OB-GYN at UGA. After examining her (while she had a Playboy bunny tan sticker), the doctor commented:

  • “‘Oh, by the way, that’s a very, very nice bunny.’ I was so embarrassed, I couldn’t even get off the table.” ([05:50])
  • Host reaction: “He says, nice bunny?” ([05:52])

• [06:05] Nikki (Caller): Went to male OB-GYN because sex was painful following a miscarriage. He comments:

  • “Well, it must be all in your head.” ([06:20])
  • Host: “And again, there mathematically has to be the worst gyno; you might be with that guy.” ([06:22])

Preference for Female Gynecologists

• Several hosts and callers compare their experiences with male vs. female OB-GYNs, often preferring female doctors for their perceived empathy and shared experiences.
• [06:27] Female Caller 1: “If I’m going to go to a mechanic, I want them to have the same parts in their cars as I do... You can read a textbook all you want about it, but unless you’ve been through it, you don’t understand.”

Trust and Loyalty to Good OB-GYNs

• [06:49] Host: Mentions a woman who travels between cities just to keep her trusted OB-GYN.
  • Female callers echo the sentiment, with one saying, “I would travel to go see them if I found a good gyno.” ([07:05])

Light-hearted Banter

• The hosts lighten the mood by joking about combining dentist and gyno appointments or speeding through uncomfortable procedures.
  • “Put you up on the rack. One on one and one on the other. Take care of everything.” ([07:30])

Notable Call-In Moments and Quotes

• [07:40] Jill (Caller): After childbirth, feels something is off and examines herself at home. Calls her practice (run by a mother-son gyno duo) and is told by the female doctor:
  • “‘Why are you looking there? You’re not a doctor.’ I said, It’s 1986, this is not the early 1800s.” ([08:19])
