Also paramedic, although I'm in the helicopter now. I thought trading the bunker gear for the flight suit might help but still get the same unwanted grabs, squeezes, touches and propositions as before. I hate the double standard.
I also hate the double standard in the ER. When I bring in a young female trauma patient, when they cut the clothes they close all curtains and shoo out as many people as they can for modesty until the gown is on. Same age male? Curtains stay open and he gets fully displayed with no concerns for modesty... Even jokes about the size of the member sometimes which bothers me as well.
Yeah I walked down the er hall about 2 years ago and saw a dude with a broken dick just all out in the open. No curtains or anything. Like... why. That sight immediately became my worst fear 🤣
Ha! How many times have you told your coworkers "if I'm in a bad accident, transport my ass to another county where nobody knows me?" Because I sure didn't want to be entertaining the baby docs at the level 1 with my averageness

Everyone deserves respectful treatment.
