Need surgeon for orchiectomy

[kristoff]

Been there, done that.

Last time, I was 11.

Next time, if forced, I take 4 handguns with me.

Why the fuck you think I turned in my license and ran away, leaving the couch behind?:-\

I agree with Hairless, why are so many people afraid to see a shrink? Confidentiality is a major requirement and it cannot be breached or crossed, so no one will know if you visit a psychiatrist. As I've stated before, seeing a female shrink about your desire to be castrated is a good thing. You can finally talk about it openly face to face with someone and females are mostly more understanding and compassionate about these things. In fact, mentioning your desire to be castrated to a female psychiatrist won't classify you as being crazy, from my experience, it will confirm that you have a real medical/emotional need. So try it, you won't be sorry and it will most likely lead to your being castrated. My shrink was extremely supportive, though I eventually had Kimmel do my castration because I only lived and hour from him.

In some states psychiatrists are required to report anything that seems to be a violation of law. --FLO--

While this is true, I would not think a "before-hand" discussion would be reportable, and might be an avenue to legitimacy. Just don't tell him/her you're gonna do it yourself, or are having the neighborhood gardener do it with the lopping shears.

Uncle I ahh... Look I don't want to sound like I'm being negative but Orchiectomy is not illegal. And as my "shrink" said the number of times he has been asked to see people before surgery has gone up by like 1000% because doctors are asking people to do this for a wide variety of reasons. And the important point is that having a bilaterial Orchiectomy is just one of many procedures that he has had patients sent to him for. He said I was not one of a zillion but that I wasn't alone. He had far more referals for other types of surgery and not "sexualy" related.

Some Cosmetic surgery for example. I for one would love to have been a fly on the Wall when Mike Jackson went in to have his nose done for the 20th time.

My point is that there are a lot of easily understandable reasons for having this type of surgery. Some I have to admit I don't get but are probably quite reasonable to a shrink who has seen more of the world then I.

Someone said speaking to a female doctor was a good idea. I think that in a very general sense this might be true but my "shrink" was male and he didn't jump out of his chair with his hair on fire. One male Uro I spoke to was more of the hair on fire you want to WHAT? attitude. He was also a bit of a nut in my opinion for a variety of reasons. I'll even admit a bit of Bias I have a female GP and she is clearly the best I've had treat me. I think there is a better mix with female doctors. But... I admit that may be 100% irrational rubbish in my head.

But again in general (again) this is the same for doctors of all types. I just want to say that as GPs go. Treating the day to day things like blood pressure for example. I had some AWFUL Doctors. I didn't help because I was an awful patient who didn't pay much attention to what my problems were or what I was supposed to be doing but part of it is the chemistry between you and the doctor. Do they communicate to you so that you get it? Are they giving you the bums rush when you should have more time? And regardless of your looking for a good GP or whatever you MUST be willing to vote with your feet. In other words get up and leave and find a doctor that you can communicate with.

I think good professional advise is worth its weight in gold and its worth seeing a few duds to find a good doctor.

Well, O.K. my gardner is in Florida for the winter anyway. More to the point, I think you're right. I didn't intend to discourage anyone from being open with a therapist when they might be able to help. --FLO--

Why not see a shrink? Shrinks CAN be very dangerous creatures! Even much more so than bears, wolves or whatever. They can decide that what you have is "organic" in their terminology. (So much for eating organic foods.) The cure for this "organic" illness that you have is through these little pills which they call by many different names but never by what they actually are: --That is chemically altered barbiturates which are specifically modified in order to target specific areas of the brain. In many areas the psychiatrist can get a court order requiring you to take these pills that they prescribe (for your own good, of course). But all of these antidepressants which are actually various forms of barbiturates are very highly addictive requiring the dosage to be increased or else changed to an other closely related substance from time to time. These pills are also very costly but if you knew exactly what you were doing and wanted to save some money to cure your alleged illness you could get an eye dropper and find the same or like drug over at the feed store in the insecticide aisle. (Same thing! No. Really!!!) The withdrawal symptoms of these chemicals tend to be very horrific including even hallucinations. Once you have hallucinations you will be in their care forever and ever until death do you depart. Thus suicide becomes the option du jour. The date rape drugs are derived from exactly the same substances as above. Another reason for suicide by a hurting victim. After witnessing this kind of stuff from a first hand basis I'd have to say that shrinks are nothing but devils incarnate and should be avoided at all costs.

A wee bit paranoid are we?

I didn't see dr Reed in Miami listed yet, he is wonderful and will talk for hours with you in your initial consult.

Florida (305) 865-2000

Toll Free (888) 865-2026

admin@srsmiami.com

Dr reed responds to the emails himself, but cant go into much individual detail if you haven't had the consult yet. The facility is modern and well decorated, the paintings are from the dr himself, which considering the surgery, marked me feel good about him.
