@ flaco: I'm a nurse practitioner, with 25 years experience + 5 years regular nursing. I do physical exams for a living, at least 2 a day. Even when I was just starting as an NP getting men naked doesn't get the fire going... well once in a while guy is attractive. But at my age 51 doesn't happen any more.
Hey there betsyb, haven't seen you post in a while.
Thank you for your contributions. For me personally, I've never found anything erotic about nudity within the medical environment.
In recent years, I dealt with a father with dementia and he was constantly naked in front of the doctors and nurses. He was in and out of ICU, and what I remember about the female nurses is that they were extremely empathetic and treated him with dignity at times when he was in very undignified situations. They were guardian angels to me, and they helped me get through the toughest time of my life.
Their maintaining dignity for their patients is why I feel compelled to help maintain their own dignity, which is honoring the care and professionalism they bring to work daily by not imputing anything sexual about what they day and why the do it.
