At my opthalmologist's office, drops are applied in private rooms. There is a darkened public waiting room while you wait for the drops to take effect.
This is an eye clinic. The patients were having drops put in their eyes. I doubt it was an "examination" room.

I have never been in with another patient at my eye drs office either.
I suspect the OP is making up a lot of the details for the purposes of proving her points, whatever those points are. The biggest problem is the OP's supposed reactions to the situations. Those reactions are unacceptable in most of American society given the situations described. While it is possible for those situations to have taken place as described, they would be extremely rare, if not being exaggerated beyond the acceptable.
OP, your behavior in the apple situation and reaction to the gift-jam are what is unacceptable to everyone who has replied to your threads. I strongly suggest you find a therapist - one who will agree to meet you in private - and who is male since it's obvious from your comments that you have great disdain for other women.
In a previous neighborhood, 3 of my neighbors were physicians. Two were orthopaedic surgeons, one was a pediatrician.
Their wives used to roll their eyes at the stuff patients would, on occasion, send them. It all went into the garbage, b/c who knows about sanitation in someone else's kitchen? Or what that loaf of bread has been exposed to in the waiting room (coughing patients) . . . or on people's hands?
So all this agonizing over that jar of jam, wh/ most likely was graciously received and then dumped into a trashcan.
Good grief.
This is the direction I was hoping this thread would take. In my OP I even asked if y'll think the doctor took the jam home? I doubt it, like anifani821 says, you don't know how hygenic these ""gift givers"" are.
... My problem is that I feel forced to follow suit with slaving for a jar of jam at the crack of dawn the next time I go to the doctor to save face, or just being humiliated because I have no gift to give when people like her present theirs.
Why don't you just take some of that fruit from your yard. Surely the neighbors didn't steal it all.
Are you in the USA? It is against patient confidentiality for 2 patients to be examined at the same time in the same room.
This was an eye dr?
The patient or the assistant had the jam?
If it was the patient then yes, patients bring things for the drs and drs staff all the time. Whether it is eaten is another question.
None of this post makes sense to me at all.

I am so sure. My post is from the very first page, fourth post of the thread. That is where it took the turn. I have worked in drs offices upwards of 12+ years, so I know how it works.
While some gets set in the common kitchen, some actually makes it to the drs office, and even home.
