  4. Male nursing and needing chaperone

    tbrd450 replied to Sirkraker's topic in Men in Nursing

    This is a double standard predicated on the misconception that abusers can only be male, and abuse victims are only female, or male children. We live in a culture that has evolved and advanced on many...

    Very nice post from Cadad! I agree that the mere fact that this is being discussed and considered to include a modesty consideration context on the double standard working against males, is a huge...

  6. Patient modesty concerns pertaining to surgery

    tbrd450 replied to creinkent's topic in Operating Room

    As this thread is pertaining specifically to patient modesty I, also, suspect a warning is coming. However, this sort of post clearly shows that it is futile to discuss something like patient modesty...

    tbrd450 replied to creinkent's topic in Operating Room

    yes!.. good point. the relevance in mentioning that it was "a man" (not a "nurse," not a "doctor," not a "medical student") was because in so doing it drives the message home better. it is clearly...

  8. The 10 REAL Reasons Men Don't Go to the Doctor

    tbrd450 replied to Anxious Patient's topic in Men in Nursing

    We end up doing the only thing we, as men, are permitted to do about this stuff -- we "laugh." But gender double standards are not funny. Male modesty inconsideration is not funny. The...

  9. What happens when a max security inmate is unconscious in their cell?

    tbrd450 replied to stephied's topic in Correctional

    I think this happens because correctional staff tend to walk in two worlds. The first is one in which their authority is virtually indisputable (on the job). The second is one in which dialogue is...

  11. Patient modesty concerns pertaining to surgery

    tbrd450 replied to creinkent's topic in Operating Room

    Wonderful article. I really like that it gets quickly to the irony of the issue: "At the hospital where Ms. Duffy was a patient and at many others the small courtesies that help lubricate and dignify...

  13. Patient modesty concerns pertaining to surgery

    tbrd450 replied to creinkent's topic in Operating Room

    Okay, now having been refreshed on this story, I realize it is worse than I had originally thought. Let's deconstruct this a bit: 1) Male patient, and 2) teenager (not an adult), and 3) gown lifted,...

    tbrd450 replied to creinkent's topic in Operating Room

    Your point about females being abused during war....absolutely!.. I hope I never slighted their consideration in my description of the abuse inflicted on the men in Abu Ghraib. Of course...their abuse...

  15. Patient modesty concerns pertaining to surgery

    tbrd450 replied to creinkent's topic in Operating Room

    The skate boarder story is, I think, somewhere in this thread many pages ago. Or, maybe another similar modesty thread. Not sure. If I remember correctly, he wasn't left in the hallway (I was trying...

  16. Patient modesty concerns pertaining to surgery

    tbrd450 replied to creinkent's topic in Operating Room

    For what it is worth, I actually think patient advocates as an option/solution here would probably be very effective for female patients. The concept is a good one. I just know that it would never...

  17. Patient modesty concerns pertaining to surgery

    tbrd450 replied to creinkent's topic in Operating Room

    tbrd450 replied to creinkent's topic in Operating Room

  19. Patient modesty concerns pertaining to surgery

    tbrd450 replied to creinkent's topic in Operating Room

    I'm not sure an advocate option would be practical for half the patient population. And, from a male perspective, this would likely do little to address the double standard. If advocates are...

  20. What happens when a max security inmate is unconscious in their cell?

    tbrd450 replied to stephied's topic in Correctional

    I happen to believe this whole safety thing is well overdone, overused, overly applied, overly reference, and steadfastly becoming a correctional veil under which substandard interventions and care is...

  21. Patient modesty concerns pertaining to surgery

    tbrd450 replied to creinkent's topic in Operating Room

    There is room for improvement across the board when it comes to modesty consideration. That is true for female patients, male patients and everything in between. However, I have clearly been harping a...

  22. Patient modesty concerns pertaining to surgery

    tbrd450 replied to creinkent's topic in Operating Room

    I think I understand this now. Okay, if a male patient states his preference to receive care from a female caregiver, then he is considered a potential pig/pervert. Nonetheless, we recognize this as...

  23. Patient modesty concerns pertaining to surgery

    tbrd450 replied to creinkent's topic in Operating Room

    Yes, some male patients would prefer female caregivers for intimate care. And, there are probably some female paitents who would prefer male caregivers for intimate care. It is about choice. Now,...
