I shouldn't have said "assistant" in the previous post, apologize. I know he has an assistant, but he's not a surgeon. Now if you're interested, check out Dr. Melanie Amster, a female Urologist in Philly. Type her name in and several sites will come up. I've seen her and she's seen me, if you get the drift. She won't do castrations unless a medical necessity, but Kimmel might be able to sway her. When I told her I wanted to be castrated, she wasn't shocked and she didn't run out of the room. She seemed generally understanding and sympathetic as I explained my dilemma. She's nice, tall, totally female, and young. That's all I feel I can say. I told Dr. Kimmel about her since I visited her before I knew about him and she did some tests on me. He said he met her once. I think I'll ask him to consider her, it can't hurt.

I think it is a good idea. I actually think a female surgeon would be better, not just because I'm heterosexual but because I think they don't see the testicles as such a necessary item of the anatomy as do male doctors.

Plus I'm always hopeful that female urologists like, get excited by, the prospect of castrating guys.

Boy i wish i could recomend my urologest but he would never leave Kaiser but this man is very good i never had any bleeding and was all healed up in seven days.I think the only thing i would like to see is a young man or woman that would maybe a little more careful how he operated to keep the infections down.

I am not sure whether it's the stigma, or whether there is a danger of losing one's license or what, but you would think that this would be an area ripe for someone to come in ... especially since Spector first, and now Kimmel, are seemingly performing these procedures with no serious repurcussions.

Imagine for a young doctor ... he or she could basically open a practice that right off the bat (a) fills a need and (b) corners the market.

Where else could someone have a ready-built clientel lining up at the door?
