NWR: FW's gynecologist is homophobic.

Wow. That's uh....pretty terrible. D: D:

Wow! Yeah. She needs to get a new gyno. How inappropriate!

That's just wrong & not her place. I really don't understand why she believes its her place to say that..

Ick!

Seriously, time for a new doctor. The nerve of that person. I would also leave a negative Yelp review. Or even calling the practice group manager or whomever is above her.

Good luck!

Why is this still her doctor then? If my doctor didn't mesh with my life, I would find someone that did.

That is really awful. I would definitely find a new doctor if I were her. I just don't get it when people think it's okay to mix their (bigoted) personal beliefs with their professional career. Gah!

I know it's normal for your gyn to ask about your sexual partners, but I never heard of them putting it on your chart. What if you're not in a relationship do they put that in the chart? Yeah I would find a new doctor.

That is terrible I would definitely be finding a new doctor ASAP. That is very inappropriate.

Last time I had a gyno appointment, they asked if I was sexually active with men or women and they put it in my file. But it is so awful that she is telling your FW who to have sex with. Inappropriate and time for a new doctor.

I feel like that's severe enough that you should report it. I'm sure your FW isn't the only patient who's a lesbian and heard these remarks.

That is gross. It should be reported and she needs to find another person. Going to the gyno is bad enough all by itself......

I can understand a gynecologist asking if sexually active for the whole STD thing...beyond that it's none of their business wether it's with a penis or vagina and then voice their own (ignorant) opinion! How unethical!! I agree with Celia, report the quack! And find a new Dr...ASAP

Julia, yes. At least all of mine have. They take notes on your social status. Hell, even my neuorologist does that. I assume with the obgyn, it's so they can make better educated suggestions on your vaginal health.

Well, except for OP's FW's obgyn, that's just bizarre.

Get a new dr and report her! i am sorry that happened to your FW that is so out of line! I would have lost it!

Does she work at a hospital or a larger practice? If so, I would immediately see if there was a supervisor or HR person you could talk to about this. That's just not okay.

It's a private office, and this doctor is "the boss". She hasn't changed yet because she has low-income coverage and it's a hassle to change providers, but I'm going to keep after her to get it changed.

Your FW should have replied, "Excuse me? What if I was your doctor and told you to get a girlfriend? Get a grip, woman!"

Can you report this doctor to the medical board? That seems so unethical it has to be some kind of censurable offense.

OMG...she needs to find another doctor ASAP. That is horrible.
