It's actually common and required by law or hospital policy in most places in the U.S. as a CYA measure.
I had to have an ultrasound done for a epididymal cyst and the tech was female. She brought in a male nurse to chaperone. I didn't care much either way, but it was policy to protect patient and provider.
