Just got off the phone with my fiancee who had her medical exam performed today by Dr. Frank Doane, the Dr. assigned to the maritimes in Canada. I was shocked to learn that she was made to strip completely for a full exam, including a breast exam..I was under the impression going into this that this would be a simple exam with just basic questions and the chest x-ray and blood draw along with the usual vitals-taking process. I know that one of the reasons for the exam is to determine if the beneficiary has any communicable diseases such as TB, HIV, etc. My question to the VJ community is this: Is it normal procedure for the Dr. to do a physical such as my fiancee was subjected to? She wasn't prepared for the part where she had to bare all and even undergo a breast exam. She passed the exam without any problems, and the Dr. seemed professional enough (there was a female nurse present the entire time), but it just seems odd to me that he would do that. If that is a standard procedure, then I would like others to be forewarned when going for the exam.

I have heard that for females, that a breast exam and pelvic exam, is included in the Medical exam. My fiance is male, so of course he did not have to go through anything like that. I have seen other posts on here though that have mentioned that for females. I am sorry your fiance had to go through that not being aware of what she might have to face.
