Something made me feel uncomfortable at the Drs.
Today I went to the allergist for the first time. I haven’t met the Dr before today, so he did some of the regular “first time at the dr” things like check my reflexes and heart. When he checked my heart with the stethoscope he lifted up my shirt and put his hand up it to listen. I wasn’t wearing a bra (because fuck bras), and of course his hand was uncomfortably close to my breasts (he put the stethoscope in between them). I froze and just hoped he would hurry up. This was so odd to me, as I’ve *never* had a Dr need to go under my shirt to hear my heart (from the front). It doesn’t seem necessary. I also feel dumb for not stopping him. I don’t want to shame myself in this situation because I do understand the power imbalance and how hard it can be to make a split second decision, but I did think I was stronger.
