Personal Safety & Sensitive Exams in Micropractice (+ Reflections on My Own Experiences w/ Harassment as a Physician)

In this episode I reflect on instances when I have felt most unsafe in medicine including

• the surprising emotions I felt during each incident
• how I reacted then vs how I would react now
• help advice given to me by a co-resident
• the argument for medical chaperones
• challenges to using chaperones in micropractice and potential solutions
• best practices for performing sensitive exams
