I do agree totally about being uncomfortable with a nurse being there. When women go for these things they often have a lot of questions to ask their doctors and it's embarrassing to have an audience, so I don't ask them.

In fact, even though I do have cancer, I HAVEN'T HAD A PAP TEST IN YEARS simply because I don't like the invasion of privacy. I think it's terrible that women are treated like children who can't be trusted (or who don't trust their doctors). I think it's demeaning and I feel women should have a choice about whether or not they want an audience.

I doubt men would tolerate a female doctor bringin in a male while he is having a prostate test and I don't understand why the medical profession is so much against WOMEN BEING GIVEN THE RIGHT TO CHOICE! This is an ultra ultra sore point with me and it makes me literally HATE the medical profession.
