Embarrassment And Health

[nailit]

Not long posted on my thread RE: my anal skin tags.
I have absolutely NO embarrassment about dropping my trousers for a GP to examine either my genitles or my 'arris.
Had a testicle cyst removed in my 20's and 2 colonoscopies in my 40's...no different than having my ingrown toenail removed when I was 17.
BUT for some people the embarrassment of having their 'bits' examined is excruciating to the point of death
(Jade Goody for example RE: smear test)

Why are we so embarrassed when it comes to our health?

Medicos have seen every bit of my body, but I was embarrassed during my first mammogram last year.

Talk about imp propriety ;-)
