Husband was in for a day treatment urological examination. Cutting long story short, he had his gown pulled up before the doctor came and so was revealed on the table in the bare from shoulders down. All the staff saw- males & females. He says he didn’t care - although about half the staff were women- they'd probably seen it all before, he says,etc etc.
But I think he probably found it embarrassing. And to be honest I’m not totally unhappy because he’s a bit of a male chauvinist. Our coffee morning agreed that it couldn’t have happened to a better person!
But seriously, is this usual or do we have a sloppy hospital? ? . Should men be draped or screened so that they are decently covered ? Or Is that just a waste of scarce NHS time & money ? And what about us ladies- do we get shown and examined in the bare like this ? About half the staff were women so you see the other half would be males !
Anybody - or other halves- met this situation before ? Must be frequent . Thanks.
