I am a retired OBGYN. During my training in Baltimore, having a female chaperone was a requirement. When I started my practice in Chicago 40+years ago, some patients were not used to and didn't like a chaperone. I politely discussed the issue and lost few patients. In my office it was a requirement which I never regretted. I read in a friend's Gyn office: "Notify my office if you prefer a sheparon during the examination." I disagree with it. I think it should be a requirement w/o regard for the doctor's sex.
