text: Actually, it is not illegal to not wear gloves, only unsanitary and dangerous. You need to let your doctor know or anyone for that matter who is performing a medical procedure on you that you want them to wear gloves or not to touch you. Many people who have been in the medical field a long time think that gloves are not necessary or that they get in the way, but they are at risk of transmitting an infection to you, to other patients and to themselves and their family! Shame on that doctor!
