Our dermatologist knew without telling her and our primary doctor knows. We did tell her. I look at it as part of our medical history. If we're Vitamin D deficient, it's not from lack of sun exposure. If we have a spot on our skin, in a place that would not see the sun with a textile person, they need to know how it possibly got there.
One thing our dermatologist and primary doctor like is that we know each other medical history and each other's body, completely. Our dermatologist always asks me if a spot on my wife's body has always been there or is new. They both have commented on how little couples know of each other's body and medical history.
ONLY complaint I have with our dermatologist is that she is so popular and so busy and so thorough, that it's not getting an appointment that's the problem, it's that she's always an hour or more behind your appointment time! hahaha
The first dermatologist I went to scheduled the appointment for a full-body examine because I mentioned that I was a nudist.Our dermatologist knew without telling her and our primary doctor knows. We did tell her. I look at it as part of our medical history.
Clearly you have a different understanding of the word servant. For you, apparently, it does not merely define a relationship. For you, apparently, it is a demeaning term. I'm truly sorry to hear that.If anyone ever called me servant or expected me to call them master, they would never again receive my service.
A Dr., especially a skin Dr. should never be embarrassed by examining skin. Yet, by your own admission, your behavior left a skin Dr. aghast.
That is correct. A dermatologist should never be embarrassed by examining skin. And what, exactly, was my behavior? I was merely sitting nude on the examination table -- facing away from the door. And remember, this dermatologist specifically scheduled the appointment because I mentioned that I was a nudist and that she felt there was a definite need to examine all of my skin.In another thread your behavior in a spa was reported as inappropriate yet you blamed others.
Again, what was my behavior? I was nude in places where nudity is common, normal, expected, and acceptable.Perhaps you should look to yourself as the problem and moderate your behavior appropriately, as other nudist on this site seem to have no problems interacting with professional people and not causing them offense.
It seems as if you see the world in black and white, and one-size-fits-all. I'm wondering whether you are able to present your thoughts in a positive and affirming manner. As it is, you come off as a textile who is offended by simple nudity.
Also, it seems as if you believe that nudists should so thoroughly and completely moderate nudism such that it would be impossible for anyone to ever be offended -- to the extent that nudist should not even been nude in places and situations in which even textiles are commonly nude. To wit: locker rooms, showers, and during dermatological examination.
Perhaps nudists should constrain their nudity to only being nude underneath their clothing.
This phrase: What exactly was my behavior. We don't know what it was.
But you do know because I've been very clear about that. Here is it again: "I was merely sitting nude on the examination table -- facing away from the door."
Clearly, you see everything in black and white, right and wrong, good and evil.
Clearly, you have decided that I am bad/wrong/evil and if anything goes wrong, it must be my fault.
How about making a positive contribution to this site and this thread in particular?
How about framing your thoughts in a positive and affirming manner?
I have had a succession of dermatologists over the past 37 years and none have ever indicated surprise at finding tanned skin all over nor has any ever failed to examine my skin all over. They have all examined me and asked questions about findings in a completely professional, objective manner. A couple have asked me if I was a nudist but none seemed surprised at the answer. BTW, all of the ones I have been examined by were female as were the two medical records specialists who came into the exam room and recorded the dermatologist's notes during the exam. Neither of those actually observed the exam as they were seated at a computer with their backs to me. In the beginning I did don an open back gown for the exam but that proved cumbersome and I began to strip completely and put on one of those after shower kilts made of towel material. That can be easily lifted or even removed entirely for the examination of buttocks and genitals.
You admit that you find it offensive when someone is nude where nudity is common, normal, expected, and acceptable.
"What I deduced about you is gained from the data you've provided, [and which you have twisted to fit your textile perspective] you've alarmed people [who you have admitted should never be offended by nudity] and used nudism as an excuse [this is a judgement you've made that has no basis in fact], I find that offensive."
You have the attitudes and beliefs of a textile and yet you pretend to be a nudist/naturist.
"Clearly your nudity has offended or alarmed people. Clearly your nudity is more important to you than giving people a positive experience of nudism."
When someone is offended by nudity when that nudity occurs at times, in places, and situation where nudity is common, normal, expected, and acceptable, only a textile would blame the nudist.
I have an annual skin exam done by a doctor at our local nudist resort. If he notices anything that needs attended to I make an appointment with my personal dermatologist and get straight to the point with him. He's an older doctor who has seen it all and not offended by much I assure you.
Even doctors now play the "I'm offended" game. Two years ago I was released by my doctor who treated my diabetes for how i dressed. I happened to be at the nude beach. My wife called and told me my appointment had been changed and they could fit me in in about an hour to see the PA. I had no time to go home and change. So stopped by wearing shorty shirts, thongs and a sleeveless t-shirt with writing on it depicting nudity. And I was going camo of course. I didn't see it being a problem under the circumstances. I guess it was though because a week after my appointment I received a letter that I was being discharged for offensively dressing in front of the doctors staff. When I called to question it they said I was showing too much of my legs and arms and the logo on my shirt evidently identified me and it offended the PA whom I will mention was a nationality which has very high standards against nudity and sex. I believed I became the victim here but my wife suggested it best to not appeal their decision and move on.
Clearly, you are the victim in that situation.I believed I became the victim here but my wife suggested it best to not appeal their decision and move on.
However, your wife is correct, you don't want to be seen by a doctor who doesn't want to see you. No point in pressing that issue.
Nonetheless, you describe yourself as having been adequately dressed. Since when are arms and legs offensive.
