Was given a chance to cover my chest during a medical

I’ve got bib boobs (not that it matters) and I had to have an ECG. They put a sticky pad thing under your boobs. The nurse expected me to be on the bench without anything covering my breasts.

Am I being unreasonable?

Just to be clear she could do her job ok. The door wasn’t locked, I just wanted the chance to cover my breasts and no be on the couch with them out.

I just wanted to not have them exposed as I could quite easily put my t-shirt over my boobs and she goes in under

No you think it’s ok that a male shouldn’t be allowed in for maternity care, it insipired me to think about my own recent care.

Hmm when I've had ECGs I have to undo my bra but was able keep the undone bra over my chest covering me. I don't see why you have to be completely uncovered so not really sure why they made you do that.
