Once on the website- blog go to ''patient modesty''  It is now in volume 21 soon to move into volume 22!  And you gals think 'men' don't care about modesty and preferring same gender healthcare for intimate procedures!  Think again.

Yes, a patient is a patient and a patient is a real person with feelings.

Many men do take offense to it and don't communicate their feelings.  This really needs to be addressed. It is acceptable for women ...

They feel they have lost control and are in an environment where their rights have been taken and must follow what they are told to do. Nurses and doctors assume far too much. Patient's right and preference on ...

On the bioethics discussion blog under patient modesty volume 6 there is current discussion on How Nurses Feel about patient modesty and espcially how it is addressed related to male intimate care.  They would like for nurses to respond on how they feel.
