Working As a MALE Doctor On OBGYN (My Experience) | Doctor Reacts To Dr. Schmidt + Dr. Lincoln

- Dr. Schmidt and Dr. Jennifer Lincoln put together a video called "When The ER Consults OB/GYN." As a male physician, I wanted to give my perspectives as a male doctor currently working on OB/GYN so that we can talk about the importance of women's health and hopefully have a few laughs. From IUD insertions, to prenatal care, to dysmenorrhea, I wanted to gain additional training in women's health so that I could help manage many of these concerns in my office. With wait times in some areas exceeding 6 months before you can even be seen by a gynaecologist, I feel like we can't afford to not manage many of these patients in our office. This was one of the primary reasons behind my interest in pursuing extra elective time on OB/GYN in my final year of medical residency. I understand that different people have different thoughts about this, and I'd love to hear from everyone in the comment's section below :) Also, don't forget to check out Dr. Schmidt's and Dr. Lincoln's channels 🤙

Hi everyone, its nice to meet you 🤙 My name Is Gianluca and I'm a second year family medicine resident physician at McMaster University in Ontario, Canada. I'm just trying to document my experiences throughout my medical training and beyond to hopefully help inspire/guide some other students... and make things more fun for myself :) I post a new video once per week.

Good on you!! With the ever lengthening wait times to get into a specialist's office, its important that we are comfortable in handling all types of cases. Best regards :)
Thanks Dr. and likewise :) All the best
I appreciate the effort you put into being well-educated on the matter, understanding about both the discomfort and the importance, and keeping very transparent about the limits of what you know and what info you can provide for expectations.
As a non-binary person with a vagina, I'm fortunate to have an OB/GYN who is also non-binary and who I feel I can count on to be pretty decently aware of how the anatomy can be a little extra different (presently in my case, due to HRT; I'm not yet sure about bottom surgery, partly due to various restrictions on options available to me and partly because I can't afford the time off work to heal). Much like many of the more skilled phlebotomists I've had, my OB/GYN will also find ways to start light conversation during the process to help ease my anxiety, and they always make sure I know when to expect something. Most of the warning is given verbally, but exams also start with light pats up my thighs to give time to adjust to the sensation before "diving in" so to speak.
your videos have really hit home for me, i grew up rural on the us canada border as a transgender person with many health issues with a sibling with much more severe health issues and 2 parents who worked rural medicine and am studying to become an anthropologist specializing in disability and rural medicine.
I’ve unfortunately had many negative experiences with all levels of the system from admin to nurses to janitors. But knowing there are people like you who are so conscience really helps me feel safe and less vulnerable when interacting with medical professionals.
Thank you so much keep doing what you’re doing
As a 30 years nurse, I strongly suggest that you do not underestimate pain from abdominal adhesions, endometriosis or uterine fibroids. Your patients will profusely thank you.
IUD insertion is incredibly painful (at least for me!) but still a *lot* less painful than labour lol
That's definitely one good way to put it 😆
Great video and you seem like a great resident doctor. I’ve had the Nexplanon insertion and it was kinda painful for me but it wouldn’t be for everyone who gets it. I typically feel some sort of pain with any medical needle inside my arm hence why the insertion was kinda painful for me. Only took less than 10 min for the procedure though.
Really important to ask everyone if they have any history of trauma that may impact their experience having any exams.
"so many women have experienced sexual assault, will you be comfortable with this exam? Or can we talk about what you need?"
Or an alternative way to address it:
“I don’t ask. There is a high probability any patient I am doing a pelvic on may have trauma, so I always give a short blurb before the exam about what I will do and that they are in control and that I will stop at any point if they ask or if they seem too uncomfortable.”
“many women have been sexually assaulted & that has changed the path of their lives and their health. if that’s something you’re comfortable talking about, do you have anything regarding that to share?”
I had male GP follow and deliver my third child. He was on board to follow my fourth pregnancy but I had complications. When I returned a year later expecting my fifth and unplanned pregnancy, he was upset until I introduced him to my severely pre term baby on oxygen and monitors. Apparently he was not called by the ER department and had no idea of what had happened. He did not feel comfortable following this new pregnancy because I was now classified as high risk. I did return to him for regular care.
Might i suggest you do some additional work with menopause. At keast 1 /3 of women are menopausal and you likely got an hour or two of lectures on it. Dr Jen Gunter's book is great for history and treatment. Dr barvara Taylor has a book and consecutive order You Tube tutorial. Her book is huge and covers all different types of menopause management. The You Tube channel expands on many of the units. She's doing a 55 video unit on breast cancer that's kicking the door open about breast cancer. It's eye opening. Please don't be afraid to suggest HRT to women, it has numerous on our brain, bones, and heart.
I had a make resident manage my case. He was great, and very cute. He must have had the pleasure to do the surgery based on how giddy he was when he stopped by that night. The follow up appointment was delayed and he had rotated out. A medical student got to use me as a guinea pig....he must not have done many.....hopefully you're better at weilding a speculum....
That's a great suggestion :) Thankfully my current rotation has been very helpful in terms of gaining exposure to HRT as well as other ways of treating some of the symptoms of menopause. I try my best and am really taking advantage of this year to learn from some of the experts 🤙 All the best
I recently had a gynaecological related surgery due to other health issues and am completely open to talking about it, comfortable talking about it etc. But I have had to go to the hospital a few times since the surgery for other things, have had some other appointments and of course the doctors and nurses ask why I recently had surgery and when I tell them they automatically get so awkward, don't know what to say, especially if it is a male. Whereas for me I'm like, just treat me as if I had any other surgery and move on
They give you that look because if you're still young you should still be breeding vs living a pain or problem free life.
Wishing you nothing but the best Justine - yes I think sometimes people can be awkward with topics that they don't have much experience with. It's unfortunate that you needed to experience it though. This is one of the reasons why I wanted to gain as much exposure to OB/GYN as possible - but I also acknowledge that its a 5 year residency and I still won't be an "expert" after finishing my training. The same might be said for some of the other people you've interacted with
@@jeanetteraichel8299 so true!
great content!
Curious as to whether you would be only doing FM-OB or general FM in future
Thanks Zoya :) My practice will be general FM in the beginning - building up a roster and slowly taking on more as I feel comfortable. Would like to incorporate some emerg or OB as well depending on time, but I'll need to adjust to the office management component of the job 1st.
@@nxtgenmd sounds great 👍 All the best.

Ur weird
A chaperoned absolutely did not make me more comfortable. When I went to the urologist and he gave me prostate exam. Then another day he put a scope into my bladder because of kidney stones. The prostate exam did not have a chaperoned. But there was another technician in the room when he did the scope, so I don’t know if that was a chaperoned or just for some other reason.
