Would it have been proper to have privacy curtains during my procedure at age 3?!


Question: When I had just turned 3 y/o I had a high fever that I had to go to the ER for. Inside a hospital room with a closed door. The physician and nurse treated my high fever with an alcohol sponge bath with no privacy curtains around me. The room had my self, the doctor and nurses along with my parents and my aunt. When they took my rectal temperature, they would just pull my pants and underwear down and take my temp in front of everyone with no privacy curtains. They even had me stripped naked while giving me the sponge bath exposed to everyone with no privacy curtains. Would it have been appropriate to have privacy curtains.

What does a three year old care about privacy? Plus, it's not like you were in the middle of a waiting room with 50 sick people.

You wanna talk privacy? Try being a woman giving birth. Every person in the room takes a peek at your vagina at some point.

either way behind the curtains it would have been you the doc the nurse and your parents so if you were in a room its the same

no, not at age 3.

You were in a hospital...
You were 3 years old...
You had nothing anyone in there hadn't seen before...
Why are you even dwelling on this all these years later?????

hmmm. you were only 3. your parents have seen you naked. So have doctors' and nurses'
