I went to a doctor about a month ago who upset me very much. Basically, he asked me questions that didn't really make sense. I went in for a physical and he asked me really, really personal and seemingly irrelevant questions. He asked "do you have a best friend?" which really wasn't that personal but i don't see what it had to do with anything. And, what upset me the most, "have you ever questioned your sexuality?" This upset me immensely because I felt like I had to answer yes, even though my mom was in the room. I was put on the spot and wasn't sure I should lie to a doctor. Another thing he did was check my pulse in my upper leg (like, right next to THERE). I've had many physicals and no doctor has done any of these things. Another doctor who was about to ask personal questions asked if I'd like my mom to leave. This guy just went right out and asked. Anyway, that question really upset me. I had been questioning for at least 2 years and i felt like i was completely exposed. Now, my mom knew and I felt like I wasn't the same person, or she would see me differently. I actually cried after he asked and at first said "I don't know" but then decided to say yes. Why did this doctor do this? This is very wrong, disrespectful, invasive, and cruel, in my opinion. I felt like we should file a complaint. Imagine if a person (specifically, teenager) who was really, actually gay had to tell this in front of their parents. What if their parents threw them out on the streets or something? Beat them? This is really an invasion of privacy and could actually hurt some people. I am mostly attracted to guys anyway and don't think i could marry a girl, but WHAT IF? Also, I'm only 15. My mom is upset about this too but is ok with my answer. But i'm just wondering what were they thinking? I don't think they realize how much damage this question could actually do.
