Any male students volunteer for urology classes ?

His scrotum & groin were repeatedly examined by not less than 7, with each causing severe pain that was similar to torture. That was the end of our friendship.

I understand things can go clumsy, but why he didn't stop them ??

That's terrible that he was hurt! Sadly though it is a reality that teaching hospitals have to allow students and residents to examine patients, Seven seems like an excessive number. I've rarely seen exams by multiple residents be anything other than respectful. Besides, multiple exams means increasing the chances of something picked up..I'm reminded of a time when I was a student. It was thyroid clinic. The attending had us all estimate the size of a thyroid. The residents all said "50 grams" or whatever. I was the only one who got it correct when I told them I couldn't feel anything.

Multiple "Dougies" (Dougie Howser med student reference for you foreigners and youngins) is very common in the US. When my father was in the cardiac care unit it was common for the crowd doing rounds to come in and talk about and examine him like a piece of meat.

Jds that was true when I was UC San Francisco. I was so upset by it that I never acted like that when I had my own ward team. My training was at the Oakland county hospital and I think a lot of the patients enjoyed the attention.

Very accurate except that I was also the recipient of the prostate exam providing guidance - deeper, to the left, to the right, do you feel both lobes?

I would gladly volunteer for patient teaching, as a 'urology patient'. Catheters, sounds, examinations, prostate exams... all can be done gently. Experienced and knowledgeable, and able to maintain professionalism and a straight face. Erection? Hardly.

I would be a volunteer as well. More in depth exams, the better. I would probably be too nervous to have an erection. Well, maybe...

Female urologist, you said you were assigned a regular volunteer student, right ? What was the required minimum age ? So, if you were always with the same guy, did you develop a friendship? If yes, was it difficult for him to remain numb during exams ? Thx.
