In theory, if an examiner wants a chaperone at all, the chaperone should be of the same sex as the patient. In fact, male examiners have female chaperones when they are examining a female patient. Similarly, by the same logic, a female examiner should have a male chaperone when the patient is a male, right?
Only in your dreams would that ever happen. Oddly enough, if a female examiner uses a chaperone with a male patient, the chaperone will be a female. That's the reality of it.
Now to the question at the top if this thread. By this
shaky logic, which has already been proven illogical, a female examiner should not need a chaperone when she is
with a female patient. But they often do have one.
Go figure. It makes no sense, but that's more reality that defies logic.
And yes, I do feel more self-conscious with a chaperone in the room, even if the examiner is male, and even if the chaperone is, as always, female.
