Patients give me the "funny look" when I want to check their groins for hernia and perform DRE.<BR/><BR/>So which is better? Having a patient walk out the door with a happy smiling face because the doctor has done what he wanted? Or having a patient walk out the door thinking, "Basket the doctor sick or what want to see my down there and stick finger in my ass!"<BR/><BR/>I think in the former the possibility of lawsuits and complaints to SMC are actually lower!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
