In the bathrooms, there are no cameras. That would be an invasion of privacy. If you are on a fall risk then they may have to be there. I have seen some have to be one on one but those are extreme cases. If you go voluntarily then you reduce those chances of being extreme. Extreme cases happen, usually those who are psychotic, in danger of hurting another, or medically necessary.
I hope this helps.

For me, gender doesnt matter in these situations. Male, female, either way it is a human violating me. And two people would be twice as upsetting as one person.
Example, I can cope with pelvic exams but they I need them to be professional and, idk, not personal... too much detail to fully go into here.
Anyway, I don't really care if the doc is male or female, as long as they dont do anything weird.
BUT after having a pelvic with a man I now will only allow a female to exam me. Not because the doc being a man bothered me, but because suddenly, as he was about to do the exam, a female nurse walked in. No one consulted me about this. I assume it is just their safety precautions against false accusations on either side, which I understand.
BUT having two people in there made me FAR more uncomfortable. Doesn't matter that the second person was female. Now there are two people witnessing me in a position that I want to be as private as possible.
Anyway, seems unlikely I will be hospitalized. My T is no a MD, and the most I would say in therapy is that I have been having urges lately. I would never share honest immediate intention.
And thankfully with the healthcare system here they want to spend as little as possible, so I should be safe. Thank goodness!
