I has actually been really interesting (damn am I glad to be a man).
Husbands are s'posed to be really understanding and to try not to
influence her decisions, just listen. After a few days of this I cant
take it anymore trying to act like a woman. Men are SUPPOSED to solve
problems, it's what we do.
Sitting in a docs office she sees me doodling on the back of a
magazine.
She: NO!, you're not using this to design something .
Me: I can't help it. its how I respond to stress
She: You could be more understanding and stop asking the doctor weird
questions.

The problem is is that she is as skeptical of medical stuff as I am.
She just expresses it emotionally and I do it with numbers. Docs dont
want to figure stuff out, they just want to apply "The Standard of
Care", that's not interesting.
It really amazes me that women put up with this attitude of "She has a
tiny pre-cancer, lets cut her tits off" for so long (some women still
fall for that BS). Good God, I'm gonna look down every night and
thank God for being a man (till I get prostate cancer).
