What it's like for the medical community

I have often woundered what its like for female docs nurses ect.

Are they examined by a colegue, is it done out of hours (end of the day)

does it even differ.

Thanks

Great Question - On one hand, I can see it being fairly routine, not a big deal, and I envision if a gyn's nurse feels a lump on her breast, that she'd simply mention it to her boss/gyn and he'd take a quick look between his regular patients - no big deal

On the other hand, I can see this being a big, private deal, where the gyn nurse would not want her boss, the gyn looking at her privates - so, would she go to her gyn's partners for her exams, and if so, does she schedule an appointment like everyone else does, or does she comletely avoid her boss's practice and his partners all together and go to a seperate clinic / medical facility for her exams like any other patient would?

Perhaps LittleBlackThongGirl could elaborate on this if she would, since she is involved in this profession.

It varies by individuals.

Sometimes the "Patient" is examined by coworkers in the same hospital/clinic.

At other times they will go to an outside practice.

Regardless of whether you are examined by people you work with or elsewhere Dr/patient confidentiality will be observed.

I asked a nurse at the clinic this question, and she said she always goes to another clinic. The nurse told me that most of the people she knows, would not be examined by their colleges.

I have some friends doctor and theyall Say to me that they have doctors they see and a that circumstance they behave like any other patient and even forget they are doctors.

Only in my country fellow colleagues don?t charge other doctors

I have one friend who's an OB Risk Delivery nurse (and has no idea of my interest). When she had her babies she delivered at the hospital where she works but for her regular exam she goes to a Dr. who, while associated with the hospital, has a practice elsewhere.
