Why Medical Patient Modesty Is Important
There are many patients who want to see change in way patient
modesty is approached at hospitals and doctors' offices. The medical
industry often expects patients to forget about their modesty
in medical settings. Many women don't wish for certain parts of
their body to be exposed to another man except for her husband
and many men don't wish for certain parts of their body to be
exposed to another woman except for his wife. There would be outrage
if women and men could change clothes in front of each other in
a locker room. We often have separate public restrooms for men
and women. Modesty is still important in all circumstances
even medical settings.
Many husbands don't wish for their wives' private parts to be
exposed to other men including doctors and nurses. They are not
crazy at all. They just love their wives so much that they don't
want another man to access and see the private parts of their
wives. Many of them are very supportive of their wives receiving
treatments from female doctors, midwives, and nurses for intimate
things. You can check out a Yahoo
group that is about husbands against male gynecologists. You
will learn of some cases where intimacy was violated and it hurt
the marriage. Some women and their husbands want to protect their
intimacy and they feel like their intimacy is violated when the
women are treated by male gynecologists or other male medical
professionals where the private parts are exposed or touched.
The bond between a husband and a wife is very special when they
never expose their private parts to another person of the opposite
sex. Think about how many husbands would be upset if another man
watched their wife taking a bath or using toilet. Many wives would
not like it if another woman watched their husbands using the
urinal. Many spouses feel honored to be the only person of the
opposite sex to see and access the private parts of their spouses.
There are some single people who are committed to purity and
don't wish for their private parts to be exposed to the opposite
sex even in medical settings. Sometimes, a single person wishes
for their future spouse to be the only person of the opposite
sex to see and access certain parts of their body. Medical professionals
are no different from ordinary people. Medical training cannot
take "man" out of a male doctor.
There are some sexual abuse victims who get very upset about
how their modesty is disregarded in medical setting because it
brings painful memories. It is very important to them that they
get as much modesty as possible. Many female abuse victims prefer
only female medical professionals participate in intimate medical
procedures on them.
There are many male patients who got upset about female nurses
putting catheters in them. Some of them didn't know until they
woke up from surgery. Take time to look at some modesty
violation cases. There are some cases where female nurses
demand to give male patients bath. Some of them really didn't
want to be bathed by the female nurses, but they didn't feel like
they could stand up.
There is no sense in asking patients to take their underwear
off for surgeries that involve surgeries on wrists, knees, arms,
etc. Some doctors just don't like to work around clothes. One
man informed the nurses and doctor that he didn't want his pants
off before he had surgery for carpal tunnel syndrome. They didn't
listen to him and a nurse brought his pants to his wife to their
horror. There are some cases where patients have been successful
in standing up for the modesty they wanted. You can check out
some successful cases.
