 Of course his exposure unnecessary. It's too bad he didn't ask her at the time what that was all about.

Another situation that is equally unnecessary is the presence or the dropping in of an extra person or two
during a procedure like the one you mentioned. There have been a number of posts on that subject.

There was an old cartoon in a magazine some years ago about doctors exposing patients unnecessarily. It was a single panel cartoon showing a young woman, completely nude, just stepping out from a curtained cubicle.

The doctor is standing next to his examination table and is obviously waiting for her. He says, "Ok, Miss Soandso, now let's have a look at that hang-nail that's been hurting you".

Although we've had a number of posts here and on other boards about nurses and aides exposing people more than necessary, we have never had a post about doctors doing so.
This cartoon was the only incident of doctors stepping over that line, and it was just a joke. Go figure.

On boards like this we often have posts describing nurses and aides who have done things like that. Some of the posts have been from women who admit doing this themselves, or say they know other co-workers who do things like that. Who knows whether any of that is true.

Still, we have never had any posts describing doctors
doing anything like that. We have had posts about doctors in some foreign countries requiring people to take everything off for examinations, but that was standard practice in the locations where it took place.

That's probably what made the cartoon so humorous, since this sort of thing just does not happen.

Some years ago, while we were on vacation in a U.S. city, my wife, 24 at the time, came down with a sore throat we thought it might be strep. I drive her to a hospital clinic to have it checked out. She expected just a strep test.

She did have strep as the test indicated and she she came out with a prescription for an antibiotic. As we drove to a drugstore she looked kind of flushed to me, but she also had a half-smile as though she was thinking of something funny but was trying to hide it, if I'm being clear here.

When I was eventually able to get her to share the humor with me she told me the doctor she saw was a young guy, probably a resident physician. After looking in her throat and swabbing it for the test, he suddenly took out his stethoscope and asked her to remove her shirt, so she did.

After he started using his stethoscope on her chest he stopped and asked her to remove her bra, too, which she did. He was red as a beet and seemed nervous as he continued with his stethoscope, even stuttering a bit as he told her there was no problems except for her throat.

She knew he had made her take off more than was absolutely necessary, but she was not angry. She was more amused than anything else, and enjoyed seeing how he was blushing and stammering as he spoke to her.

We both chuckled when we read the post above and recalled what had happened so many years ago.

Several years ago I took my wife to the emergency room due to a severe sinus infection. We were waiting in our draped off area,when we heard a young woman being taken to the area next to ours. About 5 minutes later a doctor arrived and asked her what the problem was,so she started to explain to the doctor her symptoms. The doctor instructed her to remove her top,she said ok,do you want me to remove my bottom as well,at which he said yes! My wife was in pain but upon hearing this could not control her laughter. We couldn't see anyhting but it was obvious that the doctor was takeing advantage of the situation.

JDP, you left the key element out of your post. You failed to tell us what symptoms you heard the girl describe to the doctor. What she had wrong with her would make all the difference in the world.

For instance, if she said she had stubbed her toe and it was causing a lot of pain, it would be unnecessary for her to take anything off except her shoes and socks. But if she told the doctor she had a very itchy or painful rash all over he body it would be necessary for her to take he clothes off.

Since you did not tell us what her symptoms were, we have to assume that the doctor decided that it was necessary for the girl to get undressed.

Please, if you can recall what she told the doctor, tell us what that was. Then we can understand your point better.
