Where do Doctors change clothes in a hospital?

June 302010

My sister-in-law is a Doctor. She told me that there is one locker room shared by both male and female doctors, and they change clothes together. She said they see naked bodies all the time, so its no big deal. She doesn’t know if its just local hospitals, or all over. Does anyone out there have any info on this?
She said it was in some of the older hospitals, and there was only one locker room to change in for the operating room.

Well, not an authoritative answer. But I asked a friend’s wife who is a surgeon (late 30s, and hot looking for sure). She said that there was one shared area for changing. The Doctors removed outerwear (Blue jeans, sweat shirts, etc), and put on appropriate surgical scrubs. A lot of hospitals were cold, so the staff would wear long underwear and T-shirts underneath. There were single-sex locker rooms where they could change, but that was not always convenient. They also often changed in the on-call rooms.

How “modest” one could be depends on where he/she was prior to entering the changing room. At first, she tried to dress appropriately for undressing. Then, she had to change from a sweatshirt to scrubs. She had no bra underneath, and there were male surgeons present. No time to go anywhere else to change. After that, she was OK with it. But she has never been naked or seen any doctor naked (sometimes wearing a only a towel, but never naked). She also says there was no sex going on.

Just to update, I asked my friend’s wife again, and she said there were always separate rooms available. But, her first few years after medical school not always the opportunity to take the time to use them. And she never saw anyone naked (woman topless from time to time, but never naked). They were always wearing underwear. If she had taken the time to go elsewhere and change, she might have lost the opportunity to observe whatever procedure she needed to observe from the beginning.

Now that her schedule is more established, no more coed changing rooms.

If you notice a lump under your skin should you go to the doctors or the hospital?

June 282010

I’ve got a lump under my skin, just below my ear, sort of on the jaw bone. I want to go and get it checked out. Am i better of going to the doctors tomorrow or will they just refer me to the hospital…or do i go straight to the hospital?

Cheers.
Its not the gland just a small almost cyst like lump that hurts to touch. But i’ll go to the doctors tomorrow then just incase, better safe then sorry. Thanks for the info.

You would start with your personal physician who will be able to refer you to all the testing or diagnostics or specialists you may need . . it may well be nothing at all and that is why you start with your own doctor.

You posted this in the cancer section . . just so you know . . early stages of cancer are painless . . so the fact that the lump hurts indicates its probably an infection of some kind and not a malignancy. If the pain increases or you have a temperature of 102 you should go to the Emergency Room for an evaluation.
