Welcome to Medical Patient Modesty

Our goal is to start a non-profit organization that would promote stronger patient modesty in medical settings and educate patients about how they can ensure that their modesty is respected. We will need to raise some money to start this non-profit organization. If you wish to donate, please Your business and/or organization could support Medical Patient Modesty by having a banner ad. Medical Patient Modesty's web site is very high on Google under patient modesty so this would be a good way to get more exposure to your web site.

There are so many cases where patients have no idea that they will have their underwear taken off during surgeries. There have been some cases where patients woke up surprised to see catheters. One man had to take his underwear off for knee surgery which was unnecessary. Check out some cases where modesty was violated. There are cases where medical students do pelvic exams on unconscious women before gynecological surgery. Many of those women are never asked for consent at all. See more information about non-consensual exams.

People have been taught to not question the medical industry and trust them completely. Many people assume that it is okay for the medical industry to do pretty much anything. The importance of modesty is often disregarded in medical settings. Many patients value their modesty even in medical settings. Patients who speak up about modesty concerns are often looked down on. We would like to see more medical professionals to be more sensitive to patients' needs for modesty. Many patients don't want certain parts of their body to be exposed to the opposite sex even if it is in a medical setting. We all must keep this statement in mind: Because something is done in the name of health doesn't make it blindly acceptable.

Some intimate procedures are unnecessary. For example, pap smears are often not necessary for virgin women unless they have a family history of cervical cancer or have smoked before. Check out what a Mayo Clinic doctor said about virgins and pap smears. It is often unnecessary for a woman to take her shirt off for a doctor to listen to her heart.

Some people who have found Medical Patient Modesty's web site are also concerned about sexual misconduct by doctors and we recommend you check out a web site about sexual misconduct by physicians.
