This man tried doing a pelvic exam on me at urgent care and I refused. No way any man was getting in between my legs to do a swab I could easily do myself😭

Did he “try to” without your consent or did he offer a medical procedure because he’s a medical professional

I already told a lady how I wanted to swab myself. She said I’d have to ask and see if my physician offers that option? Then I got moved to another room that was already set up for a pelvic exam. A male dr came in, asked questions, and told me he was doing a pelvic exam on me. I had to ask him “Isn’t there a self swab option? That’s what I always do”. He tried insisting it’s best for him to perform it. I had to say it like 3 more times that I felt most comfortable doing it myself

Also, I’m starting to really fear the man held it against me and didn’t actually prescribe my medicine. The paper I was given claims he prescribed it starting today, but after hours the pharmacy still has no record of anything, and urgent care already closed for the day? Usually soon as I leave an urgent care, I get a text from CVS saying they’re working on preparing my prescription😭
