Masha, we are dealing with two different medical accreditation systems here. In the US/UK you would get a blank look and/or a snicker if you asked for a "venerologist." It is simply not a board-certified specialty there. Those who treat STDs in the US/UK are urologists/gynecologists. That is not to say that venerologists do not exist in Doha, they do. Hamad has a department of urology and a department of dermatology and venerology and there are venerologists in private practice here. I was merely suggesting that if Lion Heart had problems finding a venerologist he could consult a urologist just as well. Pax?
