Doctors that check for breast cancer?
Ok so my first question is what kind of doctor is it that will feel a womens brest to see if there is a lump do all doctors do it like when they have clinic duty or is it just a certain type? And my second question is well its weird but im curious does any doctors ever come on to the patient considering there feeling there boobs naked?
Um, no. Drs don’t come on to the women during a breast exam. Can you imagine how many boobs they see a day? It isn’t always drs doing the exams. Many time it’s nurses and many times, you won’t even see a dr for your exams. It’s usually nurses doing the trivial exams while drs tend to more pressing matters.
Most doctors who have women as patients will be very involved in breast exams, but since it is the number one cancer killer of women, most male doctors who would hope to keep this terrible disease from killing their mothers, sisters or daughters would conduct the exam with the utmost professional behavior. Any doctor who comes on to a patient during an exam is engaging in criminal behavior and can be prosecuted as such. Unfortunately, they are out there, but they will face a loss of their medical licenses as well as being marked as a sexual predators for the rest of their lives.
Doctors, are very very very professional! They see, bums, breasts, penis’s, vagina’s every single day! Why even ask such a question? It’s probably quite insulting.
