NM !
Are there any female dominated offices? In India I can only think of some garment export units. They too have mojority female workers but the managers and supervisors are usually male. I have seen certain export units in Whitefield Bangalore. They arrange for the shoddiest means of transport for all their workers. They arrange the vals generally used for shifting houses. So people are herded in without having anything to hold on to. And people on the peripheru have to pray that they don't fall out of the van. These ladies have no other go as they will have the usual problems travelling my public transport.
Yes, JG, there are...I've been part of that too.......there are pros and cons, different kinds of problem but not harrassment :lol:Quote:

As long as I know every hospital has the ECG unit separately - separate from doctor's consulting room, and only the nurses and some other techinicians would get involved in such tests. In your case it would have probably been a normal test I guess - just to check your heart beat and breathing pattern.Quote:

You do not sound queer or conservative,but have raised a seious issue related to medical ethics and the topic under discussion.I simply do not understand why he didn't have a female assistant present and asked your mother out!Quote:

When it happens to a 14 year old,I come close to calling it abuse.I too don't forgive him for not allowing your mom to stay.That is the least he should have done. :x

Shakti,
I just feel like whacking that guy! Didn't your mom confront the doctor? I can see how this incident has affected you!! To be honest, I started out writing my experince this morning but stopped and deleted the whole thing half-way cos' I can't bring myself to re-live the whole episode! I managed to put that incident at the back of my head but your experiences are just bringing back old memories!!!
Take care...& thanks for sharing your experiences..... :thumbsup:
No probs. I can udnerstand. But usually the ECG tests are carried out in a separate unit and only female nurses and technicians are allowed to handle female patients.Quote:

If I have a daughter one day,I feel I have to think many times before taking her to a male doctor. :x
