i had a similar experience to the one you describe with a urologist about 9 years ago. about a year ago i went to my local gps and saw a locum - a young doctor - as i wanted to discuss ways forward with a.p. though he hadn't heard of paruresis, he was very familiar with anxiety disorders and this gave him a frame of reference through which he could quickly understand the problem. his attitude was totally different to ones i had previously encountered and i think the medical profession as a whole is becoming slowly more enlightened regarding such issues...
