This is the unwritten law in the life of every man or woman who reaches the age 60 and beyond. Wealthy or poor, privileged or underprivileged, beautiful or ugly, celebrity or unknown, sooner or later we will be subjected to a medical crucible where the most private parts of the body are scrutinized and nothing can be hidden. Not just one time but many times.
No wonder, many old folks have to be dragged to the hospital, kicking and screaming in protest. Forced to see a doctor, some old timers withhold information because it will lead to tests and God forbid, hospitalization. But the feeling can be mutual. Medical people, too, experience embarrassment at encountering the variety of “shocking” “nauseating” and “shameful” stuff exposed in the course of these medical procedures. They may feign to be quite nonchalant or blasé about the handling of naked old patients but have you listened to them talk to each other, away from their patients? Indeed no one is a hero or celebrity to a nurse or doctor behind the closed doors or curtains of an examination clinic.
As one of my friends colorfully described the diagnostic procedure for his prostate problem: “It’s like molestation but with consent.”
