ROFL!! Awww, *i* got no such sticker at *my* last jab..*pouts*

i think you make a good point tho red. i agree that as society becomes increasingly permissive, it seems silly that a doctor would be weird about piercings, tatoo's etc, wherever they my be (the piercings and tats, not the doctor!)...and equally i think this should extend to different lifestyle choices, particularly as it becomes increasingly apparent that pleasure/pain is not something completely odd, as a concept and hence i think people should be able to go and ask advice on a particular issue providing they were going to explain it was consensual etc (plus, how many people who were actually being abused would actually go to the doctor for advice on treating an injury...sadly, not many). i agree though that it still wouldn't be a wholly good idea, or all that appropriate, to turn up for a physical exam or something covered in bruises/whip marks/burns/rope marks/whatever (delete as appropriate).

This is an interesting point though, and something i pondered over recently when i had to go to docs for something...and before that when someone mentioned in a post (might have been katmandu, not sure) that they didn't go to heavy on something in a scene, because they were due for an exam at the docs the next day.
