  1. Male Patient Modesty Question

    tmaloney58 posted a topic in General Nursing

    My Experience: I recently had a not so awesome experience regarding male patient modesty in a local hospital. It involved a trip to the ED, subsequent admission to the floor and emergency surgery...

  2. Male Patient Modesty Question

    tmaloney58 replied to tmaloney58's topic in General Nursing

    Much like you have a retort to every point? In any case, to quote Edward Gibbon: "I never make the mistake of arguing with people for whose opinions I have no respect." That being said... I have...

  3. Male Patient Modesty Question

    tmaloney58 replied to tmaloney58's topic in General Nursing

    I wouldn't consider asking a caregiver to cover me up after I had been exposed for over a half an hour after assessments had been done while multiple people (not related to my care) wandered in and...

  4. Male Patient Modesty Question

    tmaloney58 replied to tmaloney58's topic in General Nursing

    I agree. You make a good point. And I'm sorry if my friend's tactics rubbed you the wrong way. Unfortunately, however, I wasn't aware of her "tactics" until after I posted. I have "spoken" to her...

  5. Male Patient Modesty Question

    tmaloney58 replied to tmaloney58's topic in General Nursing

    Hi Mi Vida Loca (and others)... I actually appreciate your concern regarding personally identifying myself. I don't think that came across in my last reply to you. So thank you. However, personally...

  6. Male Patient Modesty Question

    tmaloney58 replied to tmaloney58's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you for pointing this out, however, it's kind of an academic discussion at this point. Especially since I had already received a call from the Director of Nursing and quality assurance/customer...

  7. Male Patient Modesty Question

    tmaloney58 replied to tmaloney58's topic in General Nursing

    Apparently (unfortunately) not everyone in the profession can figure that out. Otherwise it wouldn't have happened in the first

  8. Male Patient Modesty Question

    tmaloney58 replied to tmaloney58's topic in General Nursing

    Caliotter3... Why wouldn't I? Use my name that is. Or at least the first initial of my first name, my last name and my year of birth (which this year is also my age). It's pretty much the same...

  9. Male Patient Modesty Question

    tmaloney58 replied to tmaloney58's topic in General Nursing

    amoLucia and VivaLasViejas... No, I'm not "snookering" anyone. I'll cut and paste part of my reply to Fiona59, which you quoted above, here: I did cover myself several times. When I was able....

  10. Male Patient Modesty Question

    tmaloney58 replied to tmaloney58's topic in General Nursing

    Caliotter3... Agreed. Still, a "second opinion", or the opinion of members actually in the profession never hurts. Especially considering my desire not to subject myself to further embarrassment by...

  11. Male Patient Modesty Question

    tmaloney58 replied to tmaloney58's topic in General Nursing

    I would like to thank everybody for their replies and suggestions. As I replied to Fiona59 earlier, I joined here, at the urging of an ED trauma nurse friend of mine, just to discuss/ask this. Her...

  12. Male Patient Modesty Question

    tmaloney58 replied to tmaloney58's topic in General Nursing

    Mi Vida Loca and Vanilla Bean... Thank you for your suggestions. A letter or e-mail may be the way to go. Because it was embarrassing and would probably be even more uncomfortable and embarrassing...

  13. Male Patient Modesty Question

    tmaloney58 replied to tmaloney58's topic in General Nursing

    Hi Fiona59... I did cover myself several times. When I was able. Unfortunately I wasn't in any shape to do that, or advocate for myself, most of the time. I was kind of counting on the people...

  14. Male Patient Modesty Question

    tmaloney58 replied to tmaloney58's topic in General Nursing

    Hi ItsThatJenGirl... I don't want to get anybody in trouble. And I'll get over it. So no, probably not going to say anything. Other than ask my question here. Like I said to Mi Vida Loca, I have...

  15. Male Patient Modesty Question

    tmaloney58 replied to tmaloney58's topic in General Nursing

    Mi Vida Loca... I wish I had of had somebody like you taking care of me. Somebody that remembers, or has had the experience of, being a patient as well as a provider. I think maybe sometimes that...

  16. Male Patient Modesty Question

    tmaloney58 replied to tmaloney58's topic in General Nursing

    I did say something. On multiple occasions. I got the standard "I'm a professional, I've seen/done it a thousand times and checking out your "junk" isn't of interest to me" reply. Still doesn't...
