Submissive With Woman Doc, Firm With Male Doc

In all my years of dealing with medical personnel of different genders, I've noticed quite a shift in my attitude and demeanor with each respective gender.

With male medical personnel, I'm more firm and guarded in my approach. I'm not a hardass or anything, but you get the idea. With a FEMALE med staffer, however, my attitude and demeanor soften significantly. I'm much more meek and submissive with a female doc. Psychologically I revert to an obedient and vulnerable 17 year-old when visiting a female doctor.

Anyone else have similar experiences?

It's not so much the sex but that confidence and the dominance of a doctor. Some doctors i have dominated them. Some doctors I wimp out big time

I have never had such experiences with medical personal. I have never acted dominant or submissive with any doctor. This is my life and my health and not a game of switching gears. I went to urgent care this morning for an ongoing minor medical issue. The doctor was polite, courteous and good natured yet very professional. She got the same in return.
