THIS. With my first miscarriage, I miscarried at home and went in for a visit at their request. The time was originally supposed to be for a first ultrasound, and the nurse who handed me a cup said, excitedly, "This will tell us how far along you are!" WHY NOT READ THE CHART!

I never get the choice to say no to an observing intern. Last 4-5 visits have had a surprise guest. Very uncomfy for me.

Well, I was denied a hysterectomy three times by different doctors because I “was still in my reproductive years”. I need it.
I now face irreparable harm because they refused this care.

100% yes. Nitrous in office, or a mild sedative/anti-anxiety med if the patient has a driver. So fed-up with the "you'll just have mild cramping" BS. Colposcopies and IUD placement can be excruciating, especially with other conditions like undiagnosed adenomyosis.

This! It took a me six months to work up the courage to go to a provider for a depression screening and help. I can only imagine how many people just cope and don’t get help because that step is too hard.

Thisss. I had to pull my daughter’s Dr aside to ask that next time a preteen/teen comes in, they should be asked out of earshot of their parents if they would feel more comfortable talking to the Dr alone. Is a child really expected to answer truthfully with their parent there?

A nurse holding a hand is a good idea. I had to have a d&c 5 years ago and as I sat on the table sobbing my heart out, I will never forget the nurse who held my hand and wiped away my tears. I will never forget her or her kindness.

And do not put a scale in a public/visible place. Also..weights should be subject to consent and only done when relevant like any other procedure.

Yep, nurses throw open door regardless of who is in hallway, could be the computer technician.

EVERYONE. there are very very fat people who need this care. A large or xl is not enough. Ideally go to 4-5 x.
