In my time the specialists in those days weren't very good examples to follow when it comes to speaking with patients at lectures or other situations.<BR/>Regards Dr ShockDr. Shockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06372987090860490834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3709785282773636350.post-88129748035970006712008-02-04T19:00:00.000+01:002008-02-04T19:00:00.000+01:00I remember one instance where I was at a teaching ...I remember one instance where I was at a teaching hospital and it was a nightmare. I was to see a gynecologist (sp??) and the nurse had me prepped, legs in the sturrups waiting for the Dr. He came in and behind him were six or seven medical students. The Dr asked me THEN if it was okay for them to come in.<BR/><BR/>He had no idea of my psychiatric history, that I have an impossible time saying no to authority figures, that I was overwhelmed with feelings of shame and fear and scared to death of one man, let alone a slew of people viewing my private parts. <BR/><BR/>I'm not even sure a woman who was mentally healthy would find it easy to say no as a group walked in. It was so traumatic for me. To this day I cry when I think of it.<BR/><BR/>I agree that patients interacton and participation is important, but a private consultation is neccesary to prepare the patient (which you mentioned).
