Modesty in Medical Settings

[Scarlett O.]

Take a look at "Medicalpatientmodesty", at the bottom of their home read some of the links. Psychiatrists who have studied the numbers have concluded that a woman is 3 times as likely to be sexually assaulted by a doctor than walking thru the worst places in Chicago after dark. You want to take that change with your wife, that's your choice.

According to the Chicago PD, one Ob/Gyn sexually assault as many as 12,000 patients during his career. Two other doctors gang raped their intern so bad that she was placed in ICU for blood loss. Still your choice.

1 Corinthians 7:1 (Paraphrased) If a man is not married to her he's not suppose to touch her. Maybe God was right.

I googled the site. It was ridiculous.

For example, the complaint that one has to be naked under the hospital gown during surgery. There's a reason for that. Good grief, your own clothes are not sterile. Dog/cat hair, bacteria, ….. who knows.

As far as your claims of violence, they are difficult to believe. I am NEVER alone with a male doctor. A female nurse is always there.....even with my dentist!

I really thing sites like these and possibly your own posts are from trolls.

In the links section there is a news report on a doctor convicted of sexual assault on a girl. The account was given in court under oath by the chaperone who said after 20 minutes of a digital exam she questioned the doctor. He said he was just being careful, and she was ok with that. I did a check on the first 10 stories I read, archive search on the reporting station and found all them listed in their respective files. That's good enough for me.

I wanted to encourage everyone to watch this video, Modesty in Medical Settings

So, your female GYN is a lesbian. What now? Are these female GYNs childless/unmarried/all their children are grown, or is she undermining Biblical womanhood?

I just read a book that actually does mention some of this, but goes further in plumbing the issue:

Had a kidney stone some time ago. Female nurse put in a catheter to relieve the pressure. I thanked God for the pain relief. Never thought to be embarrassed or that I, or her, had done something biblically inappropriate.

I have a female doctor whom I respect and trust. I have a history of skin cancer. Once a year I get the full body examine where she looks everywhere for trouble spots. Especially the spots I cant see. I also get the prostate finger. Never think to be embarrassed or that I, or she, has done something biblically inappropriate. She is a professional and I am thankful for her.

Biblical modesty is an important issue. Sexual abuse is an important issue. I don’t see a widespread connection to the medical profession.

Be convinced in your own mind and act accordingly. I am.

peace to you

Well, I am willing to be convinced from scripture, not opinion. Haven’t seen anything yet.

Peace to you

Well now. I don't suppose many of you have been in an operating room or surgical prep. Decades ago I had a ruptured disc. And they had to shave my backside and a young women does that. I went in with my undies on but of course that is required to be removed. It was hard to bear my nerve pain laying like that and she asked if I needed help turning over but I said no. Then I flipped myself with no help. I did not want any extra exposure. I also worked in hospital 20 years and on the operating table setup and it is all there to see. When patients are in pain, naked issues don't affect you as much as you might think. And they knock you out fast, you are aware of nothing.

Hehe especially when they are in labor pain.

I well remember my 1st kidney stone! Was in college, late 50s, & woke up Sunday bout 4am with a nagging "uneasy" feeling in my lower back. Not real bad, just couldn't get comfortable with it. It began to hurt about 30 minute later and seemed to be moving. By about 6am, I was in mortal pain & drove myself to the college infirmary. A sweet little nurse was on duty & after questioning me she called the Dr & he apparently figured it out & ordered a shot. She told me to drop my pants & underwear, which I did with ABSOLUTELY NO hesitation or embarrassment cause my thoughts at that time was PAIN RELIEF!!! Don't know what that shot was, but IIRC, I had bout enough time to get my self re-covered & was OUT!!
Have had many nurses (female) shave for operation prep, insert/withdraw catheters etc., with NO embarrassment or sexual stimulation. In fact, again IIRC, my wife was there on scene each & every time.
So, is it un-biblical to see partial/full nudity in a medical setting?? IMHO, NO!!!! Just like anything else, this situation CAN be abused, but just the fact of seeing nudity in a medical setting is not wrong!

The things you come across on this board.

Anyways. I'm personally not comfortable with anyone looking at my genitals.....even if they are the same sex. (But then.....I'm attracted to both sexes. So......d'oh. What am I to do.) When I was offered a pelvic screening exam at age 16 by a female doctor, I refused and they let me refuse.
I actually haven't had the opportunity since then to have the same thing done in the 11 years since. I went to an OB/GYN for a while, but insurance ran out before we got far. I suppose if I were to be in the position to have a pelvic exam again, I would grin and bear it.

My poor stepfather had his modesty thrown out the window when he became disabled.....imagine being bedridden, and having to have a urinary catheter up your......you get the idea. And then having surgery to rewire your intestines so that you can have bowel movements without messing up the bed....oh noes they gotta look at your butt. None of those were something my mother could do for him, yanno? Specially not the surgery. My mom did help with the catheter when we were caring for him at home, but even then we had to have nurses over for that.

I think just about anyone who works in the medical field could tell you that examining a nakey patient is anything but sexy.
