 My experience is that very little unnecessary exposure occurs in real life. Sure, it may happen but it is not the norm.

Last week I had to have some minor surgery on my finger. This was done as an outpatient. The surgery lasted about 10 minutes. I was give a sedative but it wore off about 15 minutes after the surgery was over. When I entered the prep area the nurse asked me to undress but I could leave my shorts on. I stripped, put on the gown and hospital "socks" and relaxed on the stretcher. They started an IV and the nurses were very nice and informative. A few hours later I was back at home. If they had told me to take off my shorts I would have complied. No big deal as far as I'm concerned.

Even though you say you didn't mind, it does seem that you were undressed to a greater extent than necessary. After all, it was your finger they were working on.

That seems a lot like the girl in the cartoon described in this thread, above. I certainly would have asked why I had to take everything off, except my underpants for a procedure on my finger.

I have heard that people having a knee or foot operation often have to take everything off, which is also puzzling.

Did they explain anything to you?
