Having chaperones present can also help prevent misunderstandings between patient and physician. Physicians should: (a) Adopt a policy that patients are free to request a chaperone and ensure that the policy is communicated to patients. (b) Always honor a patient's request to have a chaperone.
When my Family doctor examines my private areas she requests a chaperone cause she is protecting herself , a patient can say anything about a doctor and i don't blame her and i agree with her usually this takes place when i have a Yeast Infection in my area .
