Is this the norm? (Doctor-patient question)

Asked by Facade (22937points) March 1st, 2011

As some of you may know, my boyfriend and I don’t want to have children. Because of this, we’ve agreed that “he” should get a vasectomy. He went to the doctor yesterday to discuss some things, and one of the things discussed was setting up for a vasectomy. The doctor told him he wouldn’t perform the procedure because he is so young (my boyfriend is 28), and also because there are other, less permanent options for us a couple (which is true, but obviously we don’t want those options).

Do y’all think we’ll come into this type of roadblock with most physicians?
