One issue with men getting the care they need is finding "Same Gender Intimate Care". Women have same gender care for breast heath & Gyn issues. Men need the same kind of dignified care for prostate exams, catheters, etc. That's a Major reason 35-45% of ....

You bet its still going. That's typical of women like you. You want to brush under the rug someone else's legit complaint. Until #MeToo happens to you, then the world should stop right?

Give me a break. Just go back to sleep. You are certainly free to not come back here and respond.

WOW! really? Snarky much? Me too happened to me long before there was recourse for women to seek help. I'm an Army vet ***, and I can tell you way more about a woman working around multiple men who make life damn near impossible to live than you would possibly imagine. I am free to comment and respond where I please.

I've worked medical and psych. In medical, sometimes male colleagues had to request female staff to assist male patients to the bathroom or with cathing because some male pts were uncomfortable with male staff handling their genitals. In psych, every pt gets a full-body skin check on admission and we always let patients know both male and female staff are available and let them choose. I've been doing this for years and have yet to have a male patient request male staff or deny female staff perform the skin check.

You made the choice to see a male OBGYN, but you could of chose a female OBGYN if you wanted. I bet that you will never have a male doctor and male nurse/pa alone with you during an exam, but a male patient has a female doctor/np and female nurse/pa which is unequal treatment.

Um...which rock do you live under? Not every city even has both male and female OBGYNs, not every insurance provider has both genders in their network, etc. Lots of reasons that patientd may not be able to choose their providers. Also, I really feel like you're trying hard to create issues where there are few to be had.

Hey, lighten up! .. My 2 cents: if a male patient asks a female nurse, OT or other prof. to do something deemed not right or "inappropriate"--an ambiguous word-- he is testing the nurse, see how far she will go, or maybe he doesn't know because he has never been in this hospital or any hospital. It is not meant as "harassment"--often used too broadly (no pun intended) Of course, that still does not make it okay.

Also patients are not their true selves in hospitals and clinics. The impersonal setting and their illness or surgery often creates a different persona and they will say or do things they would never ordinarily do. Some are angry ( like myself) that they are sick, depressed, anxiety-- but you know that, right?

BTW, some people really have no modesty, such as figure models and nudists!! They like being nude. ha ha
