What Doctor's Can Do

Have you ever realized that doctor's can get as close to you as they want? Any kind of doctor. Internalist, Opthamologist, even a Psychiatrist. It doesn't matter if you are 3 years old or 93, they can get right up in your business. Touching you, rubbing against you...poking you. Any way, shape or fashion. That's pretty messed up. They can touch you any way they want and it is widely accepted by everyone. As long as they have that plastic glove on, they can poke and prod any orephus on you they want.

Doctor's touch your legs, rub your muscles, massage your head...and that is just to see the dentist. They can ask you the most personal questions and you answer them as if you have taken your own hypocratic oath to bear all to anyone in a frickin' lab coat.

You can't get away with this in any other profession.

Teachers, the molders of minds, can't get that near to you. They can't even touch you without a lawsuit. Unless they put on that rubber glove! Then it's all ok. "Timmy, can you tell me what 54 x 7 is while you turn your head and cough?" Disturbing.

It's not like you go through a toll booth and the booth operator says, "That will be $6. Let me just reach down here and get your wallet out of your pocket. Whew, you got it deep down in there."

There is no other job you can have and get away with this. Doctor's can be as sick and perverted as they want and we will never know. No one else has this ability. Except maybe used car salesmen...or priests!
