Mom in exam room

[dady]

I`m a dad of a 13 yo boy and my wife and his mother always insist on being present in exam room during his regular physical exams. She is rather solicitous mother who take good care for his mental and physical development. The Medical Office requirements demand parent to be present at the examination until come of age. I`m worried about our son`s health non less then my wife, but she consider a women is as appropriate for chaperone, independently of the gender of the child.

You're point being what?

That you want to go?

His point being that he's not sure it'd be all-round a good thing his mother attending all the time. I had friend with embarrassment or self-esteem issues because their mother molly-cuddled them a bit too much like so.

Parents are the best people to monitor their child’s growth and development. They are the people who know their children best. Health professionals act as partners to parents in this process. It is important to monitor your child’s development so that any possible problems can be identified and treated as early as possible. Children grow and develop very quickly, especially the teenagers. If some problems are not discovered and treated early, it can lead to further problems later in life. It is quite possible for shy pubescent boy because of shame to save symptoms about any aberration of normal physical development or health, not aware of their importance. The medical office policy in most societies requires a parent or guardian to be present in exam room during the exam. That afford an quite legitimate opportunity and acceptable excuse to the mother to witness the examination and to become ecquiant about the stage of development of ner child, especially if it`s a boy, after stop bathing him.

"Medical Office Exams" - no such thing in the UK.

Once again you think your American version is universal.

I can understand your concern. I did not know there were requirements that a parent be in the exam room with a child after reaching teens however. Like everything in the USA its probably fear of lawsuits should anything ontoward be alledged. Back to the point however. My Mother has always been a Mother hen and took it to the point of embarasement once i reached an age where I should have had some privacy about my body. I would suggest you as the Dad find out if theres a way around this rule by signing a waiver. It may be OK with your son which I doubt since your asking about it.
I have held a bit of resentment over the years about my Mother treating me as a toddler at that age. A boy reaches a point where he perers his mom is not looking at his naked body any longer. I think the ball is in your court Dady

Interesting. Where do patients see their physicians in the UK?

Are you serious? I have to believe you are assuming an antagonistic role here, so I will say that if you are any indication, the Free Clinic would be perfect!

If you actually are serious, and asking a legit question, carry on!

Yes, I'm serious. If there is no such thing as a medical office exam, where do you get your exam? The US has free clinics, and you are escorted into a medical office to discuss your case and then to the exam room if necessary.


So what's the UK version?

The UK version is that if you have a medical problem you go to see your Doctor (General Practitioner) at his/her surgery. You don't have a regular annual (or whatever) medical check-up, principally because medical care in the Uk is free and so you don't need to satisfy a health insurer that you are fit to continue insuring.

Thank you mouse. You call it a surgery, we call it an office or exam room.

I don't think you have the info right on the insurance. It's not necessary to have an exam once a year for the insurance. That's up to the individual and recommended but not necessary to retain insurance. But kudos to the UK for sure for the free medical care.
