Years ago, before we could afford decent health insurance, if my wife or I needed surgery or hospital care, we went to a teaching hospital. We're in a medical hub so there are several to chose from, your doc has to refer you.
My wife took a nasty fall skiing, she hurt her shoulder and it finally got to where she needed rotator cuff surgery, our orthopedist taught at one of the hospitals, so her got her in there. No private rooms, no frills, she had to be Ok with being examined by students or a group of students during rounds, she signed off on it, she could have chosen some off limits things, but she didn't take the time to read the long form.
We were barely in our 20's, so the med students were the same age. She said she didn't mind being checked out pre-surgery, topless in front of all these cute students, going through all movements to show the damage, having them all touch her, birth of a fetish for her. She said the pelvic was a lot more embarrassing, they all had to move their fingers abound in her, learning what normal feels and looks like is as important as diagnosing disease.
My only regret is that they made me leave when it started.
