Ok, so friend of mine, who happens to be gay interviewed at a school the other day(I forget where because he has gone on like 4 interviews in a month) was telling me that he was talking to some of the med students. They somehow got on the subject of gay doctors. He wants to do family practice, but I gather that from some of the things some other med students told him, gay and lesbian family practitioners are very uncommon. Evendently, many of them have trouble building a practice if it gets out that they are gay. I had to wonder, in this day in age, are there still that many closed minded and ignorant people out there that would refuse to see a gay or lesbian doctor, or for that matter take their kids to one. I myself worked with a gay doctor a couple summers ago. He didn't seem to have any trouble getting patients. And he had a very good way with patients. I think I would have gone to him or taken my kid to him any day. Just curious about you guys' thoughts on the matter.
