That is great advice blizz. I have to admit that if I have a scheduled appointment with my doctor, I wimp out and but agreement we do our best to make sure that my body is not carrying any marks. The couple of times I have had to attend hospital as an emergency there were a number of conversations in subdued tones, and then they found an excuse to get me on my own and basically offered me the opportunity to confess to being in an abusive relationship.
I hated the whispers, but welcomed the 'chat', not because I needed it, but recognise why it was done, and I am sure there those who it does help. I don't think my explanation was really understood but - shugs.
Realistically, we cannot expect to find yourselves in the care of someone with BDSM knowledge, but my experience is that I was cared for professionally, and if I really needed to go, I would not hesitate (I hope).
Of course if it was a BDSM related injury - I hope the same would apply - would just need to be even bolder...
