Chaperones for genital examination. Presence of chaperone may interfere with doctor-patient relationship.

This article presents three different views concerning the presence of chaperones during genital examinations. The first view proposes that chaperones should always be present during genital examination in order to protect health care workers from allegations of sexual assault. This could be done through a corporate policy that requires all intimate examinations to be carried out in the presence of a chaperone of the appropriate sex unless exceptional circumstances prevail. The second view states that medical practitioners should offer chaperones but not make them compulsory. This view recognizes the patients right to a professional examination without the presence of a third party. The third view argues that the presence of a chaperone may interfere with doctor-patient relationship. For example the presence of a third person may unbalance the interview and hinder patients from expressing their innermost fears and fantasies.
