Preserving Patient Dignity (Formerly Patient Modesty) Volume 121

  Actually APODYOPSIS is not only  the " Word of the Day " but is also the expression of the participants of this blog thread over the years as applied to  those within the medical profession who attend to patients. And, upsetting the visitors here, professional misbehavior involves more than " mentallyundressing " (though that can happen) but undressing the patient in a physical sense  for unneeded inspection or procedures. But either way, the visitors find such motivation and behavior clinically unnecessary but also destructive for maintenance of  the patient ' s dignity. Graphic: Jason Travis Ott via Google Images
