Undressing...
So the native culture here is modest with all their covering up. but when it comes to clinical type things it is very different. I went to the doctors a while back for an annual exam. The doc says take off your clothes and put on this gown. Well she means do it right now while I stand here and watch you. Same with the mammogram tech and same with the massage therapist. We found a great massage therapist who comes to you house, but yes you undress in front of them and they don't use a sheet to cover you as you get the massage. Weird, just kinda weird. But all the same I suppose more efficient. Why wait the doc leaves the room for you to change and then comes back. I guess I should also add all of these clinicians were Indian. Maybe this is an Indian thing. I really don't know.
