Doctors spend much time and money in receiving their education and degrees and are highly skilled professionals, no question. Most doctors are very well respected in the community, attend church on a regular basis, and demonstrate impeccable bedside manner when working with patients.

However, there is a question in the back of my mind that my friends and I were discussing last week. Can you take the "man" out of a male doctor when he is working with an attractive female patient? I don't necessarily mean an OB/GYN, but any doctor from internal medicine to a general practioner. Do men doctors notice attractive female patients? Men are the more stimulated by the visual than are females, hence the reason why I am asking this question about the male gender.

What is a male doctor thinking as he sees the shape and body of a fairly attractive female whether he is taking her blood pressure, taking her pulse, or giving her a breast exam? I have always heard that a doctor should not look at the patient or the breast while giving her an exam. Is this true? This question also popped up in the conversation with my lunch friends last week.

I'd like to hear from both doctors and patients.
Yes, but after seeing the same private parts so long they start to look just like another body part, it doesn't always matter if they are necessarily attractive females, since this is not always the standard; But the answer is more than likely going to be yes, will they want to jump your bones"? I seriously doubt it. Keep it professional, even though there are some that would deviate from this , I would say it is a flaw in their general character.

Jessaka, I don't doubt you know someone who has had a problem. Most people would be able to find some connection to someone who has been the victim of abuse. I get sad thinking about it. I supppose it is no different than teachers, priests counselors etc....the majority are ethical. There are bad apples in every profession. The thing that makes it so bad is these are people you go to in trust.
In the end for the "normal " medical professional, body parts are just body parts.

I think women of any age can be attractive. These guys were in their 30's at the time and probably were referring to women close to the same age.

What problems? Did they "come on" to her or ask her out? Was it subtle or outright?

Personal experience with my dermatologist:

I had a mole on my boob that showed with most button up tops. After years of remarks, I decided to have it taken off. Now, the dermatologist had to have a firm steady base to do his slicing, right? After watching him trying to figure out how to do this without a grope, I finally giggled and told him just to grab the thing and get it steady. Then HE started giggling. Trust me on this, you do not want a guy with one hand on your boobie and the other holding a sharp scalpel......and with a giggle.

We got things under control and all went well.

I would say that since he's a man, of course he's going to notice the attractive females. That's very normal but unless he wants to lose his license, he'll remain professional.

Now that's a funny story! It sounds like you and your doctor both have a very good sense of humor.
