Oh my -- I haven't had to do the GU assessment yet in school, but I can totally see myself doing and saying something similar -- just bc the situation is awkward. It's crazy to admit that -- so unprofessional -- yet I've said stuff like that before (and palm to face afterwards, trust me). It doesn't happen often, but when it does it's so embarrassing.
As to OP -- kudos to you! I couldn't do it, but am so grateful for those who do.
I think the classmate was nervous about it more than anything. It didn't help that she was a youngish-looking, slim and attractive female so she was judged from that lens too. Anyway, last I heard she was doing well working as an NP in a Skilled Nursing Facility where she is happy and likely wasn't doing prostate exams anyway.
