I don't think most reasonable people are questioning what you describe as the procedure. I'm certainly not. That's the way it was. What I am questioning is the poor communication involved. Why isn't the patient informed of these pre-op procedures? Why are not patients asked if they would prefer same gender aide to do the shaving? I'm talking about prearranged, scheduled procedures where these kinds of accommodations can be arranged. Why is it just assumed that it's okay for a young girl to shave an older man? Let's say we have 10 nurses or cna's on duty. One is a male. A young female needs to be preop shaving in intimate areas. Which nurse will get assigned the job? Let's say the nurses just rotate patients randomly. Convince me that, if that male nurse happens to be randomly assigned that female patient he'll actually do the job. Convince me that even if he is, that, if the female asks for a female to do the job she'll be denied that choice.
That's what this is about as far as I'm concerned.

No one could convince you of anything. You know everything already. So get a life and shutup & stop wasting our time.
