Ha, wait until you have to have a colonoscopy and all you wear is one of those open at the back gowns. Lying sideways on the bed, half a dozen male and female staff concentrating on your hoop while the doc lubes up and cheerfully announces he’s going to have quick mooch around with his fingers (plural) first. It’s a proper eye opener (!) to be told that the camera’s about a metre in - a f
king metre!!! - and it’s OK to fart if you need to.
I’m so looking forward to that envelope dropping through the letter box for a repeat poo test in two years’ time…!

Scenario, been mulling over this for a week now. I'm male BTW.
Had many MRI scans. Had one on the 15th March, head and neck. Know the drill no metal etc so wear my jogging trousers with not metal content etc.
Get to the appt and nurse (female) tells me to strip down to pants and put a gown on. Been here before and explained its not the usual routine as its just neck I usually keep my bottoms on. She dismisses my concerns as routine behaviour; OK no worries.
As I'm waiting to go in the previous patient comes out, a female, fully clothed in a dress and leggings.
I go in, my legs are facing the window where there are 3 staff, all female. Spend 40 mins conscious that I need to be careful with relaxing my legs even though they are slightly elevated on a pillow.
When I walk out there is another female patient waiting to go in, she is fully dressed with leggings on, but in a wheel chair.
Am I wrong to feel ....wronged? What would a female feel/do in this situation. Should I report it, is there anything to report?
Spoken to family and they kinda agreed with me but reticent to speak up.

For God's sake. Get a grip!
When I was undergoing a five week course of radiotherapy with my trousers round my ankles each day all but one of the staff were female. Did I care? Of course not; they were all medical professionals.
My O/H's physiotherapist is male, the doctor who is going to give her a cortisone injection later this morning is male. Does she care? Of course not; they're all medical professionals.

To answer the above - yes , I doubt nothing , no and no.
You were just doing what was asked of you by Medical professionals.
I hope the results of the MRI show no issues.

Firstly, whether you choose to take it further or let it go, I just want to say that anyone telling you to "man up", implying that your feelings and instincts are weak, is really cheesing me off. It's perfectly possible to offer any number of viewpoints on this without resorting to belittling you. Anyone who has chosen to just knock you down instead is a total douchebag, and in no way the role model for what a so-called strong man should do. Strong men lift each other up, they don't knock others down. Ignore them.
I'd say if it bothers you enough to ponder it after the fact, and then post about it in this cesspit of scummy advice, then go with your instinct and ask the hospital administration what procedure should be. It doesn't need to be accusatory, just ask for clarification. It might just be that there isn't strict policy, and different staff on different days do things differently, or it might be that somebody needs some training. I don't know. But it wouldn't hurt to ask.

I've had two MRI scans and many more CT scans, some teams ask you to wear a gown and some don't, did you have contrast dye with the scan?
The reason I ask about the dye is that although rare, some people can have an allergic reaction to it and if that happens, they need to inject you with adrenaline ASAP, usually in the thigh which will be much easier if you're in a gown.

One morning ( early|) I was alone on a beach hardly dressed
The next thing I knew there were lots of other people on the beach with hardly any cloths ranging form 4 months to 90 years old
I feel offended and I can only assume that the bloke running the car park let them all in knowing I was there sans clobber
Should I report this?

Ignore the idiots telling you to suck it up. Personally it wouldn't bother me and I'd do nothing, but it's not my place to determine how you feel about something.
Maybe you could contact them and say that you specifically wore clothing without metal content as you feel uncomfortable removing all your clothes but, despite pointing this out, you were still asked to remove them; and ask them if that's normal prodedure. You can also say that you're only asking because all the female patients were allowed to keep their leggings on, and so you felt a little singled out.
Presented like that it's not accusatory, but highlights how you feel about being treated differently. It's quite common for people to think that women are more sensitive/self conscious about such things, and to accomodate that, whilst assuming that men don't give a st, so it doesn't hurt to point out that it can bother some men too.

OP I would not follow this advice.They do not require any context. There will be a set of guidelines written down. If the guidelines contradicts what they did, they are in the wrong.
The OP only needs to ask for the guidelines/procedure.

Then, they either:
-lie
-provide you with ammunition
-refuse to cooperate.
