Why your gynecologist may shy away from seeing you

Whenever you have reason to see a gynaecologist or any other doctor, my bet is that you don't just walk in to see just any. You most likely go through a filtering process, with a check-list to enable you decide on the most preferable healthcare provider to see. Once your selection is done, what you might never realise is that healthcare providers also have their own check-list about who they prefer to see, and who they would rather not.

It's called cherry-picking in women's health. Simple principle. If you are picking cherries, you go for the juiciest and most easy to reach. Your interest is not to climb higher up the cherry tree trying to reach for other ripe ones. That expends too much effort and energy. I am sure you get the drift in relation to your health. Your gynaecologist may not want to see you for many reasons, the fact that you are paying for it is the least of their worries.
