It was a wellness checkup, but he so didn't know what he was doing that I told him don't bother with the women's checkup (even though for that I think they are required to have another woman, not sure if a nurse or med assistant in the room). Frankly, I thought he'd severely injure me doing the pap smear (it was 3 years since the last) as he was referring to a list for everything. I rescheduled the women's wellness part with my PCP.
You definitely should do what you can to at leas get a complaint put on that NP's record.

Yikes! That does sound like someone fresh out of school. They are required to have someone in the room, patient's can request otherwise though if they are uncomfortable. I'm glad you stood your ground, that's the one thing I wish I would have done that day but I was a dumb twenty year old who thought that was a requirement. I certainly know better now.
