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.

Changing rooms are separate to the scanning room so I saw their scan clothes

Been in this machine twice before, last time wore trackies. Can't recall dress for the previous appt
