Preserving Patient Dignity (Formerly Patient Modesty) Volume 124



Since December of 2007 when Patient Modesty, as part of this bioethics blog begun, my question arises to my contributors and readers here: has there been any changes to the good or to the bad regarding how the matter of bodily modesty of patients male, female or otherwise have been interpreted and carried out?  Any changes?

It will be of interest to read about any changes within the past 15 years in behavior both of the medical system and the patients themselves with regard to this matter.  ..Maurice
