I WENT TO A DOCTOR FOR AN HEMMORROID EXAM. WHEN I HAD EXAMS LIKE THIS BEFORE I WAS ALWAYS LEFT ON MY SIDE AND COVERED UP. THIS DOC CAME IN AND TOLD ME NOTHING ABOUT WHAT HE WAS GOING TO DO. HE SAID HE WAS JUST GOING TO TAKE A LOOK TO SEE WHAT WAS GOING ON. A NURSE TOOK ME INTO ANOTHER ROOM INSTRUCTED ME TO UNDRESS FROM THE WAIST DOWN AND PUT A BLANKET AROUND ME LEAVING IT OPEN IN THE BACK. I SAT ON THE EXAM TABLE AND THE DOCTOR AND NURSE CAME IN AND THE DOCTOR LAUGHED AT ME FOR SITTING ON THE TABLE AND INSTRUCTED ME TO KNEEL AT HIS FEET FACING THE TABLE. I COULDN’T BELIEVE THAT I WAS GOING TO BE EXAMINED BENDING OVER THE TABLE WHILE ON MY KNEES. HE TOLD ME TO BEND OVER THE TABLE AND PUT BOTH ARMS ABOVE MY HEAD AND GRAB ONTO THE PILLOW. WHEN I LET GO OF THE BLANKET IT FELL TO THE FLOOR AND I WAS LEFT EXPOSED FROM THE WAIST DOWN AND THE TABLE RAISED ME UP AND BENT ME FORWARD SO MY BUTT WAS IN THE AIR AND THE DOCTOR AND THE NURSE STOOD BEHIND ME AND WATCHED WITHOUT COVERING ME UP. I WASN’T INFORMED OF HOW THE EXAM WAS TO BE CONDUCTED. I WAS HUMILATED AND HORRIFIED BY THE LACK OF RESPECT FOR MY DIGNITY AND PRIVACY. I LEFT THE EXAM FEELING SICK TO MY STOMACH. I GOT SO UPSET THAT I COMPLAINED ABOUT THE EXAM ONLY TO HEAR THAT IS WAS BASICALLY MY FAULT FOR BEING EMBARRASSED NOT ANY FAULT OF THE DOCTOR. HE CLAIMS IT WAS JUST A NORMAL EXAM. HE SAID HE DIDN’T RELIZE THE BLANKET HAD FALLEN OFF. I CAN’T BELIEVE THAT SOMEONE COULD DO THAT TO ANOTHER PERSON AND NOT CARE ABOUT THIER FEELING AT ALL!
