I think what I find really embarrassing too on this subject is when you're laying in ER with your top off because they're just doing an ECG and they haven't **** well shut the curtains properly..... one time they were pushing this guy in a bed past my bed and I nearly had a fit... but luckily he didn't even look as he was too sick himself obviously. I'm hardly an exhibitionist and very private as I mentioned before. The nurses had gone off and left me... one said she was going to find a gown for me. The problem I have is that I can't raise my voice or anything for help and they didn't give me a nurse call button... so it was a case of wait until someone noticed and shut the curtains for me... they eventually did. I was too sick obviously to move otherwise I would've tried to do it myself. But sometimes I think the medical professionals don't give thought to how we feel in these situations. I even pleaded once if I could please leave my bra on... nope it had to come off.
