Girls with male doctors/gynecologist...

Do you feel comfortable with it? If he tells you to open your legs...? Is it still okay for you? When he has to perform some checks in your private zone...and has to touch there, is it okay? I ask this because I had a friend who told me that she her gynecologist might been feeling her up? Have you ever felt like that?

Open your legs?
Thought of being felt up?
Comfortable with the situation?

Yes, for some naive users I might sound creepy. Sorry but the world creepy even at daytime in your healthcare centre. Grow up.

Are you trying to use a sexuality identity as an insult? Does it really matter if she is lesbian and likes being felt up by female doctors.

Why?

I'm a student midwife - so only see the obs side of obs and gynae (a lot of gynaecologists are often obstetricians) but ALL the dr's male or female at my trust should be chaperoned when performing intimate examinations which is a little bit ridiculous IMO when the same rule doesnt apply to midwives.

I'm not sure if its a hard and fast rule as such though, I think sometimes the dr's ask just cus its easier to have an assistant when performing speculum examinations and such, not really for other purposes.

lol why are people replying, op is clearly getting off on these answers due to some weird fetish.

Very cheeky. You know, you did not have to be so graphic/rude in your description young man!

Don't understand why dudes would wanna go into gyno... every check up surely must be awkward!

Surely a chaperone is important in a situation like this, given the room for allegations that could damage a doctors career? Surely most doctors would want someone else present in the room, if not actually watching as it were?

It's probably more for the sake of the patient rather than to keep an eye on the doctor.

I've always wondered why some men even become gynecologists, or women who become urologists. It's an invitation to career long awkwardness.

Absolutely - even as a female I have a chaperone for all intimate examinations of both sexes (though not always for catheters). I actually also find it quite useful to have someone around to help the patient position themselves, pass equipment, adjust lights etc.

There are a few situations where there might not be a suitable chaperone around - for example a GP on a home visit or in an emergency when there's not time to find one - but these are few and far between.

At my hospital we chaperone patients for any below the waist procedure, regardless of the sex of the doctor. Not sure why. Perhaps just because the patients know the nursing staff but not the docs, so it makes them feel more comfortable having someone they are familiar with there?



That's another good point. We're usually advised to do everything in twos (doctor-related or not) to avoid possible liability. Kind of scary that that is needed, really...
