I agree!! I've been going to a gyn for 35 years and never once was I left naked for any amount of time. I've NEVER had a dr. ask if he could remove the sheet - he should know better....I have seen many different people during this time and certain things were always consistant. The upper and lower covers, at least a paper gown and exam is no more than 15 minutes. I've had breast exams where you leave your top on but I prefer to have the gown on. I believe they can feel lumps better but never sitting, standing, etc. I think it's weird too.
