Want to piss a urologist off?

this really makes no sense. a urologist SHOULD in my opinion FIELD questions about about lesions on genitalia, i think it belongs to both dermatology and uro. uro should have some idea and maybe send it to derm. this whole rant makes no sense and makes me wonder why uro girl really went into urology? just to rant like this? im sure there are a few unusual consults. would you expect anything different in urology?

Everybody has a right to their pet peeves. It just seems kind of funny for a urologist’s peeves to be questions about penises.

Maybe a little burnout . . .

This is a commonly held attitude among urologists. It’s not that they’re not educable, it’s likely that these dermatological complaints are utterly boring and unsatisfying to treat.

Now the stuff about semen would seem to be within her purview. It’s also pretty dumb stuff, but such questions DO indeed fall into her area of expertise- even if the answer is “Stop worrying about your damned semen!”
