Preserving Patient Dignity (Formerly Patient Modesty) Volume 121
Actually APODYOPSIS is not only the "Word of the Day" but is also the expression of the participants of this blog thread over the years as applied to those within the medical profession who attend to patients. And, upsetting the visitors here, professional misbehavior involves more than "mentally
undressing" (though that can happen) but undressing the patient in a physical sense for unneeded inspection or procedures. But either way, the visitors find such motivation and behavior clinically unnecessary but also destructive for maintenance of the patient's dignity.
