I've been watching "Botched" and I am very impressed by these doctors and how professional [View all]

the are. So I remembered when I had surgery a few years ago the nurse, (male) was tasked with putting the electrodes on my chest for an electrocardiogram. He put all of the electrodes right about my left niple. There were about 6 if I remember correctly.

I felt very uncomfortable when he was doing it and I said something and he said something back to the effect that he was doing it right. So just now I googled "where to place electrodes for electrocardiogram" and there are all these images telling whoever where to place them, I suppose to get a proper reading.


Now I'm wondering why the fuck he did that? Was I sexually assaulted by this nurse? And if I was going in for surgery, (I think it was the gastric bypass) why didn't one of the doctors do something?

OK then let me ask you. Why did that doctor put those electrodes just right about my nipple? Maraya1969 Nov 2023 #9
Could be he was never taught correct placement FloridaBlues Nov 2023 #14
