    I felt incredibly cared for in a way I haven't experienced before.

    During this appointment the MA asked if I was comfortable with a Medical Student being present during the appointment, and let me know I would not need a pelvic exam. I thought it was strange that I wasn't having a pelvic exam, but didn't think much of it. I told the MA it was OK for the medical student to be present. When Dr. Chelu and the medical student arrived I was informed I would actually be having a pelvic exam. What I did not realize was that it would be the medical student performing the exam. By the time I realized this, I felt like it was too late to speak up. I had never said I was comfortable with the medical student performing the exam and at the end of the day, this bothered me more than the exam being performed by a student.
