Should the doctor listen with the stethoscope at the front or back of the chest?

Hello!

Let's chat about the stethoscope! It's a handy little tool that helps us listen to our lungs and check if our heart is beating normally.

And our human anatomy is exactly the same! Our heart, lungs, and intestines are all below the breastbone, so when listening to the patient's heart to diagnose any possible illnesses, the doctor usually diagnoses the patient's illness.

Doctors in the emergency department usually examine patients who come to the emergency department first to determine the severity of the illness. They're there to help!

I really don't think there's anything wrong with the doctor's examination methods, actually.

I think the main issue here is that the doctor was trying to diagnose the illness as quickly as possible and perhaps didn't consider the feelings of the questioner. It's understandable! We're all human and sometimes we get a bit carried away.

The questioner feels a little offended, and the other person is a man. It's totally understandable! We've all been there. It can feel like a personal boundary has been crossed when we're in that situation.

I think it would be a great idea for the questioner to file a complaint with the hospital's medical office, as that's where general doctor-patient disputes are usually resolved.

It's also a great idea to find someone to go with you when you go to the emergency room at the hospital. Having someone to help you out and someone to keep you company means that you can ask for help if you have any problems.

I also suggest that you learn more about medical knowledge when you have time. This way, when you go to the hospital for a check-up, you can roughly know if the doctor has violated any regulations. Then you'll have the evidence you need to file a complaint against the doctor.

I really hope this helps the questioner!

Wishing you the very best!

Hello, I am Wanshi Ruyi. I can see that you are troubled. The girl went to the emergency room to see a doctor, but because of the way the doctor placed the stethoscope on her chest, she felt sexually assaulted, humiliated, and very angry. She wants to find the relevant organization to complain. I can understand how the girl feels, and I'm here to help!

First of all, complaints are managed by relevant departments. The questioner told the girl not to worry and not to get angry. I can tell you that every hospital has a medical office, which is a place dedicated to coordinating the relationship between doctors and patients. If you have any questions during the medical treatment process, you can find the office staff of the medical office to help you understand and investigate the specific situation. The medical office will help you coordinate and solve your problems. If you are not satisfied with the handling of the medical office, you can also find the higher-level department of the hospital.

Second, I see that you have a question. Is the doctor's stethoscope placed on the front or back chest? According to my personal experience in studying medicine, the stethoscope listens to the heart valves and the sounds of breathing in the lungs. Doctors always listen to the front chest first with a stethoscope, but they may also listen to both the front and back chest. As for the specific location of the heart and lungs, I suggest that the questioner can look up pictures of human anatomy. The main locations of the heart and lungs are in the upper chest. The questioner can help the girl learn about relevant medical knowledge to better help her.

3. Finally, I have one more suggestion for the original poster. If the doctor is still of the opposite sex when you seek medical attention next time, and you encounter a situation where you need to be physically touched during a physical examination, you can ask a same-sex person to be present. This could be a female friend who is accompanying you, or you could ask a female nurse to be present. This can avoid unnecessary disputes and trouble, and it will also protect you from having your physical privacy violated.

I see that girls feel that seeking medical treatment is an invasion of their bodies, and they feel greatly humiliated and very sad and indignant. But there's no need for that! Girls themselves have physical illnesses and have to work hard at work. They must not get anxious or angry, and they must pay attention to taking care of their health. And I'm here to tell you that good health is the foundation and guarantee of everything in life!

If you have strong mood swings, go outside more often to help relieve your irritability. Or listen to gentle and soothing music, keep a diary, do mindfulness meditation and breathing relaxation exercises, which can also help women relieve bad moods. These are great ways to feel better!

If you have friends and family you can trust, talk to them about what you've been through. If you don't have those people in your life, you can also talk to a regular counselor. I'm sure you'll be able to get rid of your troubles soon, and I wish you the best of luck!
