Have you ever been sexually harassed?
Today in clinic I had a 51 year old man. It was very uncomfortable becuase he kept making sexual comments and physically touched my leg. He had MS and therefore he had a walker, but he talked to me about condoms, birth control, and sex. I told him to stop and he did. I informed my clinic pod instructor and she monitored him the whole appointment. I let him go early because he was saying and doing innapropriate things. I consider this sexual harrassment. It was very uncomfortable for me! Yet Jen said that I handled it very well and professionally. I am going to have to bring him back in January, for my class IV exam, but I am not looking forward to it. My other patient cancelled this morning, but I brought a woman in who is a class III and a potential mockboard patient. Overall it has been such a long day of dealing with patients who can't control themselves!
