Ahapka…thanks for your concern. My wife says that she was once touched inappropriately by a male doctor when she was a young lady. She went to see the male doctor for only her “toe”, but the doctor had her “disrobe”.
So, your using a thread started in an loosely moderated, off topic, forum to JOKE about the awkwardness of pelvics (not arousal) in which only one persons (mostly likely not a doctor) jumped in and hijacked the thread saying nasty, creepy stuff and EVERYONE ELSE told him it was unprofessional creepy stuff and that you would have to be ALL kinds of not normal for doing a pelvic to turn you on.
No offence but that’s setting your self up to be abused. Why in the world would she actually take her close off if she was going for her toe. That’s when you leave and find another doctor.
Dear LJN…Thanks for also weighing in. It seems that your only quoting one portion of this link, and not taking in to full account that these are medical doctors, and medical students expressing their true mentality. Based upon some entries one would assume it would take a certain amount of intellegence and medical knowledge to write them, thus they are viewed as being crediable. It is no different than animity we all share here.
You say that there are a lot of “good male doctors out there,” but you also said that there are a lot of “really bad female doctors”. Surely there must be just as many good women female doctors out there? I agree that one would probably want the best care available, but at what expense. Surely a just as competent female doctor can render the same kind of care that a male doctor can. *When there’s time enough for an appointment, there’s time for modesty.
Uhh… No, anyone can post on that forum, you do not have to be a medical doctor or a student to do so. You need no more intelligence or medical knowledge than a passing familiarity with vulgar terminology (not medical terminology) to understand or post in that thread. They are simply NOT credible. There is nothing that even remotely hits at creditability. The fact is the Internet is mostly anonymous, anyone can go to wikipedia spend a minute looking up terms and write something that looks okay and claim to be whoever they want and someone will buy it as creditable, your post proves this.
Nothing more than sophmoric potty humor that happens in every work place that even the WOMEN participate in. The the forum troll “Dr. McSteamy” took things wildly off track.
Paul…I’ll assure you that you don’t want my full undivided attention. Keep on topic!
How far? 100 miles? 250 miles? 500 miles?
Not necessarily. It depends on where you live. Some places there aren’t any good female OB/GYN in any kind of reasonable distance. I have a fabulous female OB/GYN, I know for a fact some of the other women in her practice aren’t so good. I know of some really wonderful male OB/GYN I’d go to long before I’d go to most of the other people in her office.
Thank you :clapping:!!!
I beg to differ. I strongly believe that it is immodest and sinful for any woman to submit to a male gyn exam, when it can be avoided. As I’ve stated before in this thread. I believe that scripture calls for all people to live as modest lives as possible. Your response is not surprising, as the male gyno industry is probably a billion dollar industry.
Marsha…No distance is too far in my book to protect one’s modesty. And as far as how many doctors ever crossed the line, there are literally hundreds, if not thousands of these type of accusations on the internet, and doctors who have been convicted. The OP has listed three of them in this thread. You can do your own research. A good place for you to start would be the “Patient Modesty” link previously provided. There are 12 volumes, which should take you some time to explore. *Oh, and it’s headed up by Dr. Maurice Bernstein, MD, (a creditable source) who is a medical professor at a college responsible for training upcoming doctors on the very issue of patient modesty and biophysics.
Your free to believe what you want. However its already been pointed out your scripture for backing these is wildly out of context.
Ignoring for the moment the fact that female physicians of any kind is a very recent innovation, what constitutes modesty?
I just wanna know how you’d get a female doctor 1000+ miles away to come deliver a baby in time and it NOT be a risk to your wifes life?
LJN, I am a father of 3, and I understand the need for prenatal care, and have been around the block as far as dealing with all these type of issues. Yes, when a woman is ready to give birth, you can only be but so choosy. However, I would like to point out that typically women have 9 months to plan, and to try to make the birthing process as “perfect” as possible, for both themselves, and their spouses. It is up to couples to communicate clearly their desires that they want an all female staff. From what I know, most hospitals will try to accommodate this as much as possible.
Come on now, were not talking about clothing. We’re talking about nudity and exposing one’s private parts to a doctor.
