[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Doctors offices are not safe spaces. Medical privacy is a myth. And Dr. Nasser of Olympic fame is not the only one out there getting jollies at patient expense. Doctors have no right to an unaccompanied visit with a minor, and the minor has no ability to consent to one. Doctors can “ask” people to do things like leave the room, but they have no basis upon which to insist they do. The paternalistic days of “doctors orders” are long gone. [/quote] I agree that doctors offices aren't a place for a child to be alone. But I'm okay with a nurse in the room and me not for the private parts of the exam. [/quote] I think this is also a time for them to ask about topics (abuse, sexual abuse, drug use, sexual activity) that they may not want to answer in front of a parent. [/quote]
