Not much difference than being in the military then. With all of the hoopla about sexual assault in the military and the automatic presumption of guilt upon being accused of sexual assault, I know that I was very careful while in the military (and, even now, in the civil service) to make sure taht there were witnesses around whenever the potential existed.
Doctors do the same thing. The nurse always has to be in the room.
Of course now with the homo thing I guess it will have to be with everyone, not just opposite sex patients.
