The ethics of intimate examinations—teaching tomorrow's doctorsCommentary: Respecting the patient's integrity is the keyCommentary: Teaching pelvic examination—putting the patient first

I recall very clearly being required to perform a vaginal examination
during the course of my final examinations in the Radcliffe Infirmary. She
was very experienced and gave me a running commentrary with clues to what
I should be finding. What is more I was required to perform it in academic
dress, without mortar board, the cape of which kept getting in the way.
