Gynaecological examination research project

Ladies would you be prepared to volunteer for a gyno research project, even if it was uncomfortable ?

I wouldn't.

It depends what the research study was for. If I was interested I might if it was convenient. Otherwise, that's what nursing and medical students and the unemployed are for. The medical and nursing students are already at the hospital and the unemployed don't have anything else to do. It's a perfect match.

Usually there is some remuneration or free related care when you volunteer and are accepted into a study to be a lab rat.

Of course in studies where age is a consideration, students might not be old enough for what they are studying.

Long ago, experiments and studies were conducted on prisoners, mentally poor people, lonely, and so one. After the new legal provisions it has become difficult. While I worked in the hospital one of my tasks was to provide patients, or paid guinea pigs for students training. Various people appeared. Some enjoyed it, some did not care, for some were important a meal and pay. I was very intrigued, a little was missing to me to answer, as a volunteer. Clearly I did not, because my reputation would fall sharply. Several times my doctor asked me to allow a specialist or student to be present at the examination, I always approved it. In my imagination, there is always a wish to be to be examined by hundreds of young students who for the first see a real woman, and quietly commenting with admiration.

I love your idea of medical/ nursing students participating in research exams

What would it be like if their professor or senior students were to examine the junior students for gyno research project.

Wouldn't that become a subject of talk among students.

Wouldn't it be I'm akward to be around those senior friends you have examined you in detail.

It would lead to interesting scenarios I think.

Definitely not.

I personally think it would depend on what it was researching and what type of pain was involved. Also would depend on who was doing the exam

Yes. But not necessarily because of medfet. There is such a need for people to agree to participate in studies. The next major breakthrough or advancement may come at a time when someone I know or love really needs it. I had to have a breast ultrasound a couple of years ago which included a manual exam by a doctor there, and the Breast Clinic contacted me and asked if I would agree to letting a couple of students participate. In addition, they were testing new technologies for the ultrasound exam. I participated in three different ultrasound demonstrations with nurses and doctors coming and going from the rooms, including one demonstration by one of the sales representatives to a group of about 10-12 others. He asked me if I would be alright with him doing that. I had one question for him; had he ever seen a boob before?

Sure, depends, maybe...

When I first started working at a university with a large medical school one of the girls in the office where I worked signed up for every test subject that she could. They paid her and she would do anything they needed. A couple of times a month she would be the patient for pelvic exams. We had a brief affair and she told me she loved having so many nameless people looking at her and probing her. Alas she moved away.

I know it’s not the same but the first time I went to an exam with my wife she unknowingly agreed to have a med student in the room/help perform the exam. The nurse that took us back to the room confirmed with us and you could see my wife’s shock but she was too embarrassed to say she made a mistake.

Maybe. I'm not sure yet.

I may depends what the research is for. But I would most likely

I definitely would be willing to at least look into it. Also, the more uncomfortable the better in my book.

Probably after looking into it.

I would most definitely ?

Never ever. I remember once I had a gyn exam scheduled in the waiting room my man showed me a note saying that at the moment there was a training doc in the office and that she will participate in any exams if accepted by the patient. I immediately decided to refuse. By chance she was not there this afternoon. I would have refused for any other exam as well. I am not a guinee pig.

I would have no problem volunteering for an exam of sorts if it fit into my schedule as I stated in my earlier post. My volunteering would NOT be for prurient reasons either. The doctor is still there and they observe the student performing the exam or procedure to make sure it is done properly. When I was a student, I was happy to have patients who were amenable to being examined and classmates who were amenable to examining one another to gain experience.

The medical and nursing students and residents I have seen and worked with in my career were all very appreciative and respectful of the patients and they need them to gain experience in diagnosis and treatment. You are definitely NOT a Guinea pig when a student or resident examines you.

When I was in medical school during my OB/GYN rotation a woman came in for a checkup who had a bicornate uterus. With her permission she was examined by about twenty people that afternoon. The exam room was crowded.. It was a very generous thing for her to do, she definitely didn't have to. Her condition is rare enough that the chances of another patient coming in with that during the resident's training was such that the residency director wanted to make sure they saw a patient with this condition.

Unfortunately, because of the number of residents, the medical students weren't invited.

Couldn't the hospital simply have had everyone examine a large dog or a pig and given everyone a chance to examine a bicornuate uterus? ? ? ?

Sorry, I couldn't resist that one!

Well I was given a vasectomy by an ob /gyne she was learning all the aspects of sterilization . so I guess I did my part for medical research .It was at a clinic that was assosicated with collage.

Ever try to get a dog into the stirrups? One of the many reasons I didn't become a veterinarian.
