Male dr & nurse at an all girls college

I looked at an all girl college health services website and was shocked that the only dr was an older male and the only nurse was a male. does that seem believable? also, the physical exam form had a checkoff for rectal. i wonder if this means all girls going there go thru that before they get to college. that seems just as unbelievable as a gynecologist having a male nurse. that never happens does it ?

Are you looking at a fake website for the college?

If that's true then that male doc and nurse are the luckiest men alive.

There is a possibility they might be gay you know. Perhaps even expressly chosen because of that ... if the place is real that is ...

Do you have a link, I would like to see it for myself^^

That was about 10 years ago that i saw that. the website now lists female nps at the health clinic and the health form no longer says anything about vaginal or rectal. i wonder if there were complaints about that part of an exam. maybe there were complaints about a male dr or nurse too.

Ok, certainly very interresting😉

I think this is total silliness. Even in the smallest of colleges, there would necessarily be more than one doctor and nurses, which in my experience have always been female! I guess a boarding school might have just one part time doctor but seriously doubt that a male nurse would be employed unless it's a male only school! As for a health form listing rectal exam, this is more in keeping with a generic form and have no issue. By the time one is in college, you have likely experienced this or soon will!

When I was a student at the University of Georgia in the late 80s/early 90s, I spent my first two years living in a dormitory. It was the only co-ed dormitory on campus. Not only did young men and women share the same hall, but I just happened to be assigned to the same floor where about half of the gymnastics team lived. So over those two years I got to know some of them pretty well and overheard some pretty wild stories.

I will never forget overhearing one of them make a passing comment about visiting the "team gynecologist" to refill her prescription for the pill.

Now I'm sure UGA didn't have a dedicated gynecologist on the payroll for just the 10-15 women on the gymnastics team. But it wouldn't surprise me if there was one assigned to just the athletic department. Can you imagine that gig? Spending your days examining gymnasts, swimmers & divers, soccer players, basketball players, volleyball players and other women; all between the ages of 18 and 22 and all incredibly fit?

My god, that has to be a dream assignment!

I think, its not realistic that there are only males.

And the thing with the "rectal exam" on the form - who says that it is really performed during exams 😉

As a sales rep., I used to call on The Ohio State University Student Health Clinic. There was several Fam. Pract. Docs and a couple OB-GYN's that worked there. The GYN's mostly Rx'd the "Pill" and treated STD's in female patients. They were confounded by the fact that the same girls would show up with the same STD again, when they had been told to not have sex with the same male partner, but they did anyway.

Yes I have known of girls schools with a male doctor to preform basic examinations I had several. At most a hernia or breast exam never anything beyond that. The fact you mention rectal exam has me question the validity of the source.

I toured a small college my senior year of HS. It was coed and they had one NP, a male. I'm not sure how many vaginal or rectal exams he performed but i'm guessing it was mostly strep swabs and flu shots in his office.

Why would one need a vaginal or rectal exam for a college admission?! These are meant to diagnose contagious diseases and conditions incompatible with teaching, right?

(Unless the woman specifically complained of a tummy problem perhaps.)

@ peacannutjob: for the same reason they do genital and hernia exams on males. None. It has no bearing on their suitability to attend college.

You'd be forgiven for thinking that there is a positive correlation with being a prudish minded Puritan and being obsessed with genitals and sexual matters ... any old excuse seems to be the motto.

Not that there is anything especially horrid about that, except the hypocrisy ...

@agracier : before I respond I just want to make sure I didn't misunderstand you;

are you saying I'm prudish, Puritanical obsessed with genitals and hypocritical, or have I misread you?

Of course you misunderstood what I wrote.

I was commenting on how in certain cultures as a whole, it seems that some doctors - especially institutionally employed doctors as in schools, armed forces, prisons and such - seem to be on the one hand very straight-laced and prudish and yet have an obsession with genitals and sexual matters. Think for instance of sports coaches in the US with the jock strap thing. To outsiders that seems weird and unhealthy from a mental health point of view. And as you yourself said, why perform genital and rectal exams on people attending college? It has no bearing on their ability to do so. And yet, there apparently are doctors who will do so anyway.

I was not commenting on members here. If anything, we are open and frank about our interests and don't need to clothe it all up in rationalizations and excuses. We are the exact opposite of hypocritical. Members here are honest about their likes and preferences.
