you are right but the body is not yours. its your wife decision plus a doctor's eyes are never perverted. they ccan't see an appealing body all they look for is a trouble if any. thats it. it's called patient doctor relationship you are not even a patient. medical ethics don't even let you in here. if you feel this way discuss it with your wife persuade her to get a female examiner. tou can't do that. get some couple therapy sessions if you can't figure it out. in us it works this way. had you been in some non us state or a muslim one it would have been not possible with out your consent. but free country right. i hope it helps. visit our health centre for further guidance. take care
why is it that the medical profession is so behind the times when it comes to considering the feelings of husbands as it pertains to their wive's medical care. i just recently learned about the exams my wife has been subjected to on a yearly basis (at least one of the following: pelvic exam pap smear breast exam). it depresses and angers me that a male physician can perform those exams without my consent. meanwhile the same doctor over the course of more than 10 years has never asked me to remove anything more than my shirt while she is asked to strip down every time she sees him. i think without the consent of both partners in a marriage that it should be illegal for an opposite sex health care professional to perform invasive exams of this nature. we're not talking about an emergency here and i feel that he has caused irreparable damage to our marriage and has taken something from me that i can't ever get back. what is your take on this?
