It’s embarrassing, especially when a female classmate meets a male classmate’s doctor. She is even more ashamed and finds it difficult to talk about it. But nothing matters, life and health are important. There is no best thing for electrocardiogram examination. If something happens, you must treat it in time!
Baring the breasts is a necessary operation for electrocardiogram examination, and there is nothing to be shy about at this time. What if you go to the hospital to give birth and meet a male doctor? Wouldn’t it still be produced? Is it okay if you ask the male doctor to avoid it and just bring in someone who doesn't understand medicine or is not in the corresponding profession?
I'm really sorry, so I can only ask someone else. But there are some diseases that cannot take up time, such as suspected acute myocardial infarction.
There was once a young woman who was sitting on a chair in the living room wearing a transparent and naked nightgown. Unfortunately, an erected pencil was inserted into her butt! There is an extra hole in the butt. When she went to the hospital, her face was half covered with her pipa in her arms. The male doctor had no choice but to examine the young woman's buttocks, which would require stitches.
There was another girl who was on a blind date. She was accidentally hit by another man on a bicycle and injured her lower body. Nothing is wrong anywhere, it’s just a hematoma on the labia majora! In the end, the male doctor referred the case to a gynecologist.
Nowadays, doctors on the frontline of clinical practice are scarce. It is a luxury and impossible to choose a doctor.
A head nurse asked a certain male doctor what he should study for. The male doctor replied: How to study the buttocks! This is good, the male anorectal doctor deals with chrysanthemums every day, and he either accepts accidental flatulence or accidental diarrhea!
Compared with others, the ECG examination by a male doctor is nothing. Sometimes when breast lesions are suspected, the male doctor will touch the nipple. To avoid embarrassment, go to a distant hospital for treatment if possible, where you don’t know each other.
What would I think if I were a doctor?
I remembered the Weibo I saw just two days ago. If I were a doctor, I would think the same.
In fact, I am a doctor.
Not only have I done electrocardiograms on the opposite sex, gynecological examinations, and inserted urinary catheters; (Wow, are these basic operations for doctors?)
I also accept I had a male doctor do a digital anorectal examination. (Shy~.~)
Seriously speaking, a doctor should have qualified professional qualities. Put on a white coat, remember the patient’s gender and forget your own. I remember the patient's condition, but I can't remember the patient's face. In front of the operating table and pathology table, skin and meat are cut; in the kitchen and by the pool, there is no way to use the knife for fish and shrimp.
In fact, seeing too much will really make you numb. Doctors are usually too busy, and it is difficult to remember the appearance of so many patients.
What would I do if I were a patient?
1. Adjust your mentality. Relax, this is just a normal examination and trust the doctor's professional ethics.
2. Actively cooperate. As mentioned before about the doctor's mental state, the easier it is to successfully complete the examination if he actively cooperates; if you think about it in reverse, the more you push and shove, the more awkward the atmosphere will be. The doctor was already too busy to remember people, but now he was deeply impressed.
3. Get dressed. It is not appropriate to wear dresses, pantyhose, or remove metal jewelry on the day of the examination. It is better to choose underwear without steel rings and plasticity, or it is better to wrap the chest.
4. Protect privacy. The lead electrodes of chest 1 and chest 2 are in the fourth intercostal space, close to the lower edge of the breast when lying down, and you can take the initiative to lift your underwear to the appropriate position, which not only protects privacy, but also reduces the doctor's physical contact.
5. Protect rights. Patients may request a female medical staff to accompany them during examinations involving female privacy. Please do not blindly refuse examinations by doctors of the opposite sex. This is not good for cultivating doctors’ abilities and improving the quality of diagnosis and treatment. At the same time, it aggravates the distrust between doctors and patients.

Like it! This is a strong support for male doctors.
As health examinations become more and more popular, more and more people are becoming interested in medicine. Some friends left me messages saying that they regretted not studying medicine after reading my popular science articles. I feel that I have a sense of accomplishment, haha.
Everyone now knows better that whether it is a general physical examination or hospitalization, an electrocardiogram is required. When hospitalized in the cardiology department, an electrocardiogram is even more necessary. Many times, our cardiology department has its own electrocardiograph, and clinical doctors complete the electrocardiogram.
So it is indeed possible to encounter patients of different genders for electrocardiogram. As a doctor, what do we think?
To be honest, as a clinician, my first consideration is whether the patient needs an electrocardiogram. Electrocardiogram can indeed provide very important diagnostic value for atrial and ventricular hypertrophy, myocardial ischemia, arrhythmia and electrolyte disorders, and it also has great clinical significance for evaluating the treatment effect of diseases. Therefore, the first thing that comes to my mind is whether I need to do an electrocardiogram or not. What’s the point?
I don’t even think about whether it’s a male patient or a female patient. But when we actually do it, we really have to take gender issues into consideration and pay attention to protecting the patient's privacy. Especially young female friends should pay more attention to protection. For example, we will draw the curtains, or put down the patient's clothes after placing the chest leads (as you all know, when doing an electrocardiogram, the chest needs to be exposed).
In fact, in addition to protecting patients’ privacy, we should also pay attention to humanistic care. Especially when doing electrocardiograms in winter, we often heat the leads slightly before using them on patients to avoid patients' skin contact with leads that are too cold.
Invariably, doctors may be more concerned about the disease, but they will also consider the patient’s privacy and humanistic care.
When a male doctor is on duty, a female patient needs to lift her clothes to expose her breasts for an electrocardiogram. In this case, there is usually not only one male doctor, but also a female assistant present, or the doctor will allow it. The patient's family members entered the room.
If a female patient finds out that the doctor who performed an electrocardiogram on her is a man and feels shy, she can ask a female doctor to do it if there are other doctors on duty. This is a sign of being a patient. Freedom to choose your doctor.
If there is only a male doctor on duty and there is no other doctor to choose from, you can ask your family members to be present when the chest is exposed for an electrocardiogram, and the doctor will allow them to accompany you. This is also to protect the rights and interests of patients and the safety of doctors.
This principle is the same as when we examine private parts. If a male doctor examines a female patient, a third party must be present. This is why there is usually a doctor in the clinic. The reason for the famous female assistant.
In fact, to be honest, for doctors, they have long been numb after seeing too much. No matter how beautiful and beautiful they are, what they see in the eyes of doctors should be diseases or musculoskeletal organs. . Although there are a very small number of scum, the vast majority of doctors really don't like this.
Let me answer this question.
I think almost all doctors have rotated to the electrocardiogram room, and I am no exception! That was a long, long time ago, but I was still a kid and a little intern.
To be honest, I was full of expectations before going to the electrocardiogram room! Medical students all know that ECG interpretation is a big problem. Those who can understand it feel that each waveform has meaning, while those who cannot understand it all seem to have the same feeling. Straight lines are the best.
So, I walked into the electrocardiogram room full of expectations, armed with a gun I had honed before the battle (I temporarily watched "Electrocardiogram Speed ??Reading" all night). To be honest, there were quite a few boys in the electrocardiogram room! It was fast! , I was assigned to a group with Lao Wang, and there was another classmate, Xiaoli, who had been there for almost a month. Before I could sit down, a middle-aged woman came and looked at me. , come on, see if you can do an electrocardiogram. Panic! Panic! I looked at classmate Xiaoli, my eyes full of hope. However, she was like Zun Shifo. He was motionless. What could I do? We couldn't be cowardly! He said, "Take off your clothes." I was just glad that it was great and I didn’t need to do anything, so I turned my head to look at Lao Wang, who was analyzing the electrocardiogram. Lao Wang looked at me and said, "What are you doing? You don’t want to learn even if you don’t understand!" "Hurry up and see what classmate Xiaoli did." I didn't dare to neglect for a moment. I thought it was over. This first impression was very bad. Will Lao Wang teach me again in the future? One month from now on, our group's electrocardiogram The operation is all mine! I looked at all the men, women, young and beautiful, old, weak, sick, and plump. Of course, classmate Xiaoli and Lao Wang were always with me, and occasionally. Help.
This month, all I think about is getting rid of this drudgery as soon as possible, sitting in front of the computer to analyze the electrocardiogram, and sending the electrocardiogram report alone as soon as possible!
Really, when a doctor works, no matter how old the patient is or how he looks, the patient is the patient. In the eyes of doctors, it is the doctor-patient relationship. When a female patient undergoes an electrocardiogram and a male doctor is on duty, there will definitely be a female nurse or other female medical staff there. He usually won't operate alone, so don't worry!
Electrocardiogram is a very basic examination method. It is required to check the body to evaluate the heart condition. In the cardiology department, something repeated every day is to perform electrocardiogram on patients. Electrocardiogram is simple, convenient, free from radiation and other hazards, and the price is very low. The patient lies flat, and a few electrodes are connected to the limbs and chest to record the changes in electrical activity produced by each cardiac cycle of the heart.
Since the electrodes need to be connected to the chest, it is necessary to lift up the clothes to expose the chest, which is a bit embarrassing for female patients, especially when meeting male doctors.
Doctors are a profession that serves diseases. Since the subjects are people, they are very accustomed to the structure of the human body, let alone electrocardiogram doctors, so they will not have any special ideas. Female patients should not be too Too much resistance to male doctors. In fact, since the patients are female, it is inconvenient for male doctors. If they are not careful, they may be complained by female patients, which will also have a great impact on the doctor's career. Therefore, when many male doctors now examine female patients, if they need to expose their private parts, they will require a woman to be present at the same time. On the one hand, it makes the patient less embarrassed, and on the other hand, it also protects the doctor himself.
Female patients often wear a dress when they come to the hospital for examination. If they need to do an electrocardiogram, they need to take off their entire clothes. This exposes more private parts and makes the doctor's examination progress slower. Therefore, if you are a female patient and plan to have an electrocardiogram, you must not wear a dress. It is more convenient to wear looser clothes. Also, do not wear socks because electrodes need to be clamped on the limbs. Wear looser pants and lift up the trouser legs slightly. Come on.
This reminds me of a male classmate in college. When he was practicing in the cardiology department, the teacher arranged for him to do an electrocardiogram on a female patient about 50 years old. Not only was the electrocardiogram not completed, but the patient himself I and my family members have been scolding me all morning...
I have also done electrocardiograms on female patients, both old and young. If you ask me what I think, I just want to say can I choose not to do it?
To be honest, as a grown man, I really don’t like doing electrocardiograms on the opposite sex. Fortunately, when I meet a female patient who understands, she won’t have too many thoughts. If I meet a female patient who doesn’t understand, she always feels like I’m taking advantage of her, and she looks at me with strange eyes, which makes me feel very uncomfortable. uncomfortable.
As a male doctor, I will inevitably have the experience of being refused by a female patient to do an examination. In this case, I usually let other female doctors or female nurses do it for her and do it myself. If you are busy with other things, why not do it?
If you are a female patient going for an electrocardiogram, and you happen to meet a male doctor on duty, you can calmly let him examine you, because no matter whether you are beautiful or not, we really have no other ideas. I have long been numb. When performing an electrocardiogram on the opposite sex, there is a third person present, usually a woman.
Of course, you also have the right to refuse. In any hospital, as long as the patient refuses to be examined by a certain doctor, he can ask for a replacement. At this time, you can ask for a female doctor to do it, or you can ask your family members or friends to accompany you.
Whether it is a female patient meeting a male doctor, or a male patient meeting a female doctor, I hope everyone can treat it with a normal heart. Everyone just played different roles in the doctor-patient relationship. One party acted as a pure patient, and the other party acted as a pure doctor, that's all.
No matter you are beautiful or seemingly without salt, when the disease comes, it is all fair. He will not shy away from you because of your stunning appearance. What is coming cannot be avoided. In this case, why not face it calmly? The best solution to the disease is to seek medical consultation at a medical institution. When it comes time to have an examination, do you still care about whether men and women can have sex? The profession of medical staff is inherently gender-neutral. Not to mention that there are only female nurses, there are also many male nurses. If you met a male nurse, wouldn't you let him give you an injection? Such chaste and fierce women are really rare in modern times.
It is estimated that the only way to make a clear diagnosis is through the secret method passed down from ancient times: diagnosing the pulse with silk thread. Whether this method is useful or not has not been studied by modern medicine. I hope you can find a master who masters this skill before your condition becomes serious. With such a master hanging a pot to help the world, why do we need equipment such as X-ray, CT, MRI, and PES? What a waste of money, right?
Of course, when doing an electrocardiogram, you need to untie your underwear and expose your breasts. What if you encounter a doctor who doesn’t mean well? How hungry and thirsty must such a doctor be? Are you stupid enough to do something to your own patients? Nowadays, Internet information is so developed that if you upload your experience of being "indecent" on the Internet, it will immediately become a hot topic. What the electrocardiogram doctor will probably face next is his reputation being ruined. Not only will he be unable to earn a living as a medical doctor, but he may also be imprisoned. A person with normal mind would never do such a thing that is not worth the gain.
During the night shift, if medical staff need to examine patients of the opposite sex, they will usually avoid suspicion. That is, the patient's companion or family member is allowed to enter the examination room for examination. Or let the female medical staff on duty witness it. After all, "the melon field does not accept the shoes, and the plum blossoms do not have the crown". If you fail to do this, you may not be able to defend yourself if you are complained. Isn't there a bizarre incident that occurred recently? A medical staff member was complained of "sexual assault" while performing an anal digital examination on a same-sex patient. If video evidence is required for future inspections, who will benefit in the end? There should be more trust between doctors and patients, what do you think?
I just had a color ultrasound recently and it was a male doctor. Before I lay down, he asked me if I would mind. If so, he could switch to a female doctor. Maybe it’s because doctors now avoid suspicion when it comes to the thyroid and breast glands. This really reflects the progress of society. I believe that no doctor would ask this question in the past. Personally, if the doctor doesn't suggest that you change doctors, and you don't mind it very much, if there are other female doctors doing the same job next to you, you can suggest it to the doctor yourself. If there is only one doctor on duty, no one can replace it, and you should not put too much psychological burden on yourself. No one wants to get sick. Since you are sick, you go to the hospital just to take good care of yourself and to know what's wrong with you. What's more, when doctors are studying various anatomy and various human experiments, they come into contact with so many patients every day after work. From an objective point of view, wherever we lie down, we are just a pile of human tissue. Let alone examinations, there are more male doctors during operations, and a circle of people surrounds a patient. At that time, no matter how worried you are, you can't take care of it.
What would you do if you were a female patient going for an electrocardiogram and a male doctor happened to be on duty?
As a doctor, I would like to tell you that just relax and have an examination. In this case, you and the doctor will not be the only ones present. From the perspective of medical safety, there will definitely be a third person. Present, this person is usually another female colleague or nurse, or it may be a family member of yours.
Maybe for the patient, this is one of the few embarrassing situations, but for the doctor, it is a repetitive job that he repeats over and over again every day, and the private parts of the female body are just It is an anatomical surface landmark that is easy for doctors to identify and search. For example: the male nipple is flush with the gap between our fourth ribs, which is an obvious reference point when doing an ECG.
Furthermore, when people are nervous and thinking, their attention is obviously focused, and the focus here is the illness. During the operation, what the doctor thinks about is the seriousness of the condition, whether it may be complicated by other diseases, and what the next treatment will be, rather than the shame issue that everyone pays attention to.
There are many similar situations in medical treatment, such as male surgeons operating on female patients; there are even male gynecologists examining patients. On the contrary, male patients will also face examinations by female doctors. Only by keeping a calm mind can you ensure the smooth progress of medical treatment.
