To expand in my previous answer , my first post op meeting with the ED department was with the male consultant and male pump rep.
For my second visit many years later to talk about injections I was expecting to see the male consultant but because I had already seen him and he was running late, I was seen by the female urology technician. I assume she probably had to get the prescription approved by the consultant.
There are members of my hospital and doctors surgery that I refuse to see but that is because I dislike or don't trust them, not because of their gender.
I really hope you find a resolution and get the caverject, it will be worth it. This disease is bad enough to deal with without additional problems.
Thanks Chris
