Well, I had a chat with my dentist and she said that the most "sissy' pacients she had are men. That women are not that afraid, but some men had to be persuaded really hard to have an extraction or a cavity filled.

Can we consider men to be "cowards" when it's about doctors and such issues? What do you think?

yes i totally agree with that statment, my dh had to go to the dentist and it tok him forever i finally had to make tha appt myself then when he got there he was very nervous

Yes, Men are cowards when it comes to visiting the doctor or the dentist. They would rather 'tough' it out or complain about how they don't feel well. You know a cold is really the flu & they're dying. I need to drag the b/f to the doctor when he needs to go

thankfully he is healthy

Mine does that too .. He gets very angry if i complain i have a headache, but when he feels sick.... he needs to be pampered :roll: Oh.. and he hasn't been to the dentist in 3 years! :lol:

i hate doctors, so i won't side with them.. last time i went to the dentist, that fool didn't put anesthesy [sorry for spelling] and it hurt like hell to just fill cavity or clean cavity..

i went today to the dentist, and she fixed a cavity in my mouth I didn't feel anything, i could have fallen asleep :lol: and she told me that next time she will fix a tooth that is quite likely to hurt, so she will put anesthesia (or how it's spelled... :mrgreen: )
and i think my bf is a bit scared... he has this tooth that bothers him, and it has been like this for months (!!) and he keeps postponing it .. oh well.. his business

the only problem with that is that we as there partner hear about how much it hurts

omg girls I think they are cowards to go to the doctor

I don't think they are cowards ... I KNOW they are!! lol Big babies even
