Hello /pol/, I'm being sued
I am a male OB/GYN fresh out of residency. 6 months ago I got a job at a private clinic. The patients are largely middle to upper class, and I love my job.
Since I'm a new doctor, the vast majority of the patients I see are for gyno and not obstetrics.
As a male gyno, naturally I get fewer patients. Our clinic has 4 full time MDs, 3 of which are women and me, who replaced a male doctor who was very much loved by the community.
Here is my issue: I'm being sued
As a male OB/GYN, I've faced a lot of hardships. There has to be a female nurse on hand for all the examinations for legal reasons. A lot of women prefer to wait months for the female doctors rather than see me. I can totally understand that.
The reason I'm being sued is because of a MtF trans patient. This person came for a pelvic exam two weeks ago. Immediately, this patient was hostile when I asked perfectly routine questions that I ask of any patient. A lot of their medical history was blank and it took a long time for me to piece together the information needed to give an accurate diagnosis.
From my standpoint, there was very little I could do for them. I specialize in female anatomy. A normal pelvic exam involves looking at the vagina, cervix, then examining the womb and ovaries....none of which this patient had.
So, I'm currently being sued for discrimination, from a patient who literally did not have the biological parts that I specialize in.
What should I do, /pol/?
