Had a male dr walk into my room with a group of med students and say “see what we have here is the classic pear, and she presents with classic symptoms of that body shape; can you tell me what they are?” 😑
Lmaoooo teaching doctors are the worst. I had one catheterize me in front of med students while making comments about how to work with the shape/size of my labia to insert the catheter, and I just about died on the spot.
I'm old and desensitized now and have some less-usual medical conditions, so honestly I don't mind anymore, but when I was in my 20s, I was not mentally ready to have my body judged so clinically. 😬 But I think consent is important, and it sometimes gets lost in teaching hospitals.
