Not Out to Your Doctor?
As an openly-gay mental health professional, I have long assumed that most LGBT folks are out to their health providers. Wrong! Recently, I was asked to present a talk to an LGBT group on the pros and cons of coming out to your doctor. I was a little perplexed: "What would be the cons?" I thought. So I went on-line and read about the topic. I also read about all these new books out about "Don't Trust Your Doctor" and similar blah-blah-blah. In this column, I would like to address the relationship that we – as LGBTers – have with our our health care professionals, how to be "out" with them and how to get them to give us what we really want (and need).
