I find it difficult to understand the medical profession. I
spent countless resources preparing for my office visit with an
Endocrinologist. I had my records sent to her office. My cat scan was forwarded
to her office. I did hours of research preparing questions and learning
"the language" of her specialty. I even showered before going! We
waited 20 minutes to see the doctor. While we waited, I was grilled by the
medical assistant. Finally, the doctor arrived and told me that I knew more
about my condition than she did. Then she told me she couldn't help me.
Apparently the medical schools are not covering anatomy & physiology as
they once did. I am seeing a surgeon next week. He has already indicated that
he may not be able to help me either.
I am appealing to you, the readers, to help me find the
doctor who specializes in Disorders of Sexual Development (DSD) more commonly
known as “Intersex”. This was formally known as “true hermaphroditism”. I live
in the Las Vegas area so I can see someone within a 300 mile radius if needed.
I can also fly to a limited amount of cities if the need presents itself. I
have a limited amount of insurance through Aetna & even more limited funds.
There is a sense of urgency because I am experiencing a great deal of pain
associated with this condition. If you know of anyone who specializes in these
conditions, please let me know via the following email, jebenedict@yahoo.com . Thanks for
reading!
