There have been many documented cases of doctors falsely accused of behaving inappropriately during intimate exams. It could be argued that a chaperone should be recommended for physical examinations of all parts of the patient's body. Doctors have been widely advised to have a chaperone present during any intimate physical examination to provide protection to the doctor against false accusations. But the frequency of companion use in health clinics has remained generally low in the United States. For years now there has been a heated debate on the presence or absence of companions during intimate examinations and every time the discussion is reignited it ends in nothing, and it is a topic from which we tend to stay away (1.2). However, chaperones should be present during an intimate examination to provide protection for healthcare professionals against false accusations. The Medical Commission develops new additional guidance on 'Maintaining boundaries' during an intimate examination. The Medical Commission states that 'Boundary Maintenance' causes doctors to be sensitive to what patients may perceive as 'intimate' (6). The Medical Commission explains that an intimate examination is defined as an examination involving a patient's female breasts, genitals or rectum. According to the Medical Commission there are situations that can cause embarrassment or stress to patients. In some religions, examination by a member of the opposite sex is prohibited, and the removal of clothing causes distress in patients. An example includes when a patient may need to undress for a skin check; patients who may feel uncomfortable being alone with a member of the opposite sex, or the physical examination of a patient... half of the document... sed (International Business Times). However, both arguments whether or not the presence of a chaperone during intimate examinations raises compelling and pertinent points. But we must protect our healthcare workers from false accusations or any kind of misconduct and to protect our doctors; chaperones should be present during intimate examinations. Because the frequency of chaperone use in health care clinics has remained generally low in the United States, we must generate a clear national standard of guidelines or restrictions in the United States to protect our health care workers. I also strongly advise our doctors to keep in mind that they are at greater risk of their actions being misconduct or misinterpreted if they conduct intimate exams where no chaperone is present because this is a litigation-conscious company.
