It's About Revealing Your Dignity.</i>"</b> That is why when providers say "there is no modesty here" <b>what they really mean is there is no DIGNITY here.</b> When they say I am a professional, that means <b>your modesty and DIGNITY do NOT matter.</b> When they say you don't have anything I haven't seen before, that means <b>your modesty and DIGNITY do NOT matter.</b><br /><br />I do not support this as the name of the thread. All of your suggestions have been about changing the name of the thread. My suggestion is to replace the incorrect term in the title with the correct term (in the same way "noncompliant" is replaced in forms and materials with the correct term of "nonadherence". (You do not retitle the form or material, you simply replace the incorrectly used word.)<br /><br />I then suggest footnoting the the new title with a reference to the old title with the word "formerly". This keeps the focus on modesty issues.<br /><br />Going back to: <i>Modesty is Not About Hiding Your Body. It's About Revealing Your Dignity.</i><br /><br />This has been tied tied to the Biblical concept of a woman's modesty:<br /><br />Proverbs 31:30 - Charm is deceitful, and beauty empty; the woman who fears Yahweh is the one to praise.<br /><br />1 Timothy 2:9-10 - Similarly, women are to wear suitable clothes and to be dressed quietly and modestly, without braided hair or gold and jewellery or expensive clothes; their adornment is to do the good works that are proper for women who claim to be religious.<br /><br />1 Peter 1:3-4 - Your adornment should be not an exterior one, consisting of braided hair or gold jewelry or fine clothing, but the interior disposition of the heart, consisting in the imperishable quality of a gentle and peaceful spirit, so precious in the sight of God.<br /><br /><br />If you want to go down the Biblical route, then take a look at this slide show: <a href="https://slideplayer.com/slide/4469976/" rel="nofollow">Naked without Shame</a>. This concept shows that the body is shared ONLY between husband and wife.<br /><br />Even IF one were to argue a medical necessity, it would still preclude students from fiddling with our private parts and those gawkers that watch for no medical reason.<br /><br />Note that slide 8 explains why men are routinely harmed (in terms of dignity) in healthcare. The saying "women and children first" shows the sacrifices that men make for women and children at their own expense. <br /><br /><br /><br /><br />- Banterings<br /><br /><br /><br />A.

What we discuss here is one very specific aspect of it that the ethics community by and large ignores. Including the word modesty such as you suggest automatically narrows the scope of what the dignity discussion is about. At the same time, making a link between the words dignity and modesty might cause some in the ethics community to realize that there is in fact a link between modesty and dignity.

It's also realistic that female staff will sometimes get sexual gratification from seeing exposed males. Then you get the same sex staffers that STILL get into same sex patients. My vote is if there isn't a real reason for that patient to be exposed , then don't expose him/her. If there is reason , let it be only the person who has to attend to that patient. Chaperones. Nurses. Scribes. There has to be a way of doing things so that patient isn't having their most private parts displayed to them. If and when patients are seen by people in the hallway, whether the door was left open or just opened at a wrong moment, that's bad to. Exposure in front of family members or coworkers and friends ?

I feel that I have adequately demonstrated that the issue that we are talking about is <b>"Patient Dignity"</b>, and that the use of the word modesty is a slur against patients and essentially amounts to victim blaming/victim shaming. <br /><br />In the era of the #MeToo movement and in keeping with medicine's practice of using the correct lexicon, I still stand by my assertion that the word "modesty" should be changed to the correct term "dignity". To show that this is the <b>SAME THREAD (just under a different name),</b> I suggested that the former title be acknowledged thus having the name be:<br /><br /><br /><b>"Patient Dignity (Formerly Patient Modesty)"</b><br /><br /><br />The issue has been brought up that the term "dignity" also encompasses those issues beyond those of intimate exposure that we deemed "modesty issues." By having "(Formerly Patient Modesty)" in the name will also limit those issues to those of intimate exposure.<br /><br /><b>This is the exact same situation as the terms <a href="https://journals.lww.com/homehealthcarenurseonline/Citation/2016/01000/Noncompliant_and_Nonadherent__Time_to_Retire_These.12.aspx" rel="nofollow">Noncompliant and Nonadherent</a>.</b><br /><br />Any other name would be construed as an attempt to confuse the subject that has been discussed here over 91 volumes or to change the focus to a different subject. <br /><br /><br /><br />-- Banterings<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />A.

A fair majority of comments it seems are directed at physicians. Yes it’s true, many of them don’t get it but they are a small part of the problem. Much emphasis has come from Maurice regarding his students and what he is attempting to do in part I believe comes from criticism that he perceives from this blog."</i>:<br /><br />That is untrue. Physicians ARE the foundation of the problem. Despite healthcare being taken over by large corporations, everything needs needs to be signed off by a physician, the Cheif Medical Officer. The standard that is used is that subversive cultural mantra that has been professed since the beginning of time that healthcare is gender neutral. Just as physicians used this lie to make things easier on them, of course corporations will use these dirty tricks to their advantage. <br /><br /><b>The best example of these dirty tricks used by providers is <a href="https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=1312385" rel="nofollow">Joan P. Emerson's "Behaviour in Private Places: Sustaining Definitions of Reality in Gynecological Examinations"</a>.</b><br /><br />The corporate takeover of healthcare is society's response to the way healthcare violated the dignity of patients.

And it is supportive to understand that the article is in keeping with the general consensus of our blog thread. There is no doubt that medical school education needs more than study of pathology within the various bodily symptoms and the approaches to diagnosis and therapy.<br />Even though virtually all medical students come from a college education environment which includes the study of literature, history and the arts, to provide that opportunity to read and see these areas of humanism while studying pathology provides a broadening of what medicine is all about.<br />(Fortunately, at the medical school where I teach, students are given the opportunity to engage in these subjects.) But all the "goodness" provided medical students in the first two years can be crushed in the latter years by the "hidden curriculum" unless the students are first warned to "stand up" and "speak out" if they are led by their superiors into behaviors ignoring the patient's dignity as an individual human and not simply a "teaching subject" or a "disease". ..Maurice.Maurice Bernstein, M.D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07618638650784869923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7571658.post-51258229674528842112018-10-09T03:30:49.710-07:002018-10-09T03:30:49.710-07:00Good Morning Everyone:

Yes there are the ethically challenged ones who don't but they are very much the exception.<br /><br />Our problem as patients, especially male patients, is that the majority of doctors and healthcare staff, while they want to address our medical problems, either don't care if their patients are needlessly embarrassed or they've just never given it a second thought. <br /><br />I would take heart if the problem was just older staff socialized decades ago on the whole medicine is gender neutral nonsense but my dermatology experience a year ago involved a resident. Between his spoken word and body language he was clearly incredulous that I somehow objected to having a female scribe and female LPN observe while he did my full body exam. This guy is only 3 or 4 years beyond the students Dr. Bernstein is teaching, and it was as if he had never even conceptually heard of patient modesty. The message isn't getting through to the next generation of doctors.

Virtually all physicians are actively attempting to save the life of their patient's illness unless the patient is terminally ill and then palliative care is still given. However, as documented on a recent <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/jailed-doctor-barry-schultz-interview-opioid-epidemic-60-minutes/" rel="nofollow">"60 minute" episode</a>the exception is one "Florida physician Barry Schultz.

Also, check out <a href="https://www.kevinmd.com/blog/2016/03/routine-heart-exam-unexpected-problem.html" rel="nofollow">an article </a> by a medical student who had some lustful thoughts toward a woman he did a routine heart exam on because her breasts were exposed.<br /><br />MistyMedical Patient Modestyhttp://www.patientmodesty.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7571658.post-43588956997807819912018-10-08T07:03:04.348-07:002018-10-08T07:03:04.348-07:00Good Morning All:
In regards to the male gynecolo...Good Morning All:<br /><br />In regards to the male gynecologist article Dr. Bernstein. First, the article is four years old. Secondly, these excerpts speak VOLUMES against the United States healthcare industry.<br /><br />“women are better patients than men. They have no qualms about telling us what’s wrong with them, and therefore we can do what we need to do to get them better. With women, it’s like, “Give me the information, and take my advice.””<br /><br />“Women’s health care is far superior than men’s health care”<br /><br />“The top cancers that get women breast, colon, cervix, ovarian, uterine we can prevent four out of the five of those. If you come in often enough and take all the preventable measures, you can find things, and you can fix them almost always.”<br /><br />“You can’t expect a man to not get sexual enjoyment from seeing and touching women “down there” especially when the woman is stunningly good looking. Men don’t tire of looking at what they find attractive, no matter what the subject is a sunset, a mountain or ocean view, and certainly not if it’s a beautiful woman.”<br /><br />For the “greatest generation”, and the “silent generation”, most if not all doctors were male. During the “baby boomer generation” females began to get their medical licenses but most women still saw a male gynecologist.<br /><br />Women of the greatest and silent generations acclimated their daughters to male gynecologists because that’s what their mothers did with them. If after they were indoctrinated into the culture they chose to switch doctors, that was then their choice. <br /><br />So, one gynecologist states women are better patients than men because they have no problem speaking up and telling him what wrong.<br /><br />Has he forgotten how society has stereotyped the male species? Someone should tell the good doctor that it is him along with his colleagues and society that have suppressed the male voice and caused this breakdown in communication between patient and provider.<br /><br />Maybe someone should ask him how he plans to help reopen the lines of communication?<br /><br />Next, we have the real tell all. “Women’s health care is far superior than men’s health care”.<br /><br />Why is that? If doctors freely admit women are getting better care then men, why aren’t they out there screaming at the top of their lungs and ADVOCATING for men’s healthcare rights?<br /><br />Its because doctors are now beholding to big pharma and the hospitals that pay their salary, NOT the health and well being of the patients they see.<br /><br />The male population of this country should see this article and be incensed about it to the point they ask “What is going on here?” Why are female related cancers getting more attention than those affecting men? Why aren’t they getting EQUAL attention?<br /><br />What has happened to EQUALITY in this country?<br /><br />Then there was a comment made by a reader.<br /><br />They say “You can’t expect a man to not get sexual enjoyment from seeing and touching women “down there” especially when the woman is stunningly good looking”. <br /><br />What happened to “we’re ALL professionals here” you don’t have anything we haven’t seen before a thousand times? Or is that spiel only reserved for female healthcare workers when they are intimately embarrassing their male patients?<br /><br />What about female nurses and urologists? You can’t tell anyone they get no sexual gratification out of seeing and touching their male patients intimately? If you say no way, you are an outright liar.<br /><br />This article is just further proof that the system is completely broken down and until the men of this country start standing up for their healthcare rights, men will continue to be treated as nothing more than objects by our healthcare system. <br /><br />Our kids, their kids, so on and so forth will pay with their dignity and privacy as we have, why, because of our inability to open our mouths and FORCE the system to CHANGE.<br /><br />Regards,<br />NTTNTThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16277382808413575689noreply@blogger.com
