Do medcial assistants have to deal with nude people a lot? When they go through school, do they have to see a lot of naked people? Do they have to touch them?

~Just rent videos. It's cheaper than trying to get an LPN, an RN or a PA. You clearly aren't MD material (unless you apply to Guadalajara). Or, if you want to touch and see, try the red light district.

No they do not. Not even in school. You work in a office setting so not much of that go's on. If the patients has to get naked you instruct them in what to do, leave a gown out for them and leave the room coming back in a few Min's to check on them. You might have to help if the person is elderly and can not do it all on they're own. Or also if the person needs to be bandage in a certain area and you are the one applying the bandage. Also if you going to perform an EKG. Other then that you don't really have to worry about people getting naked. But at times there might be, so if you don't like all that I think it would be best that you don't go into that field of work.

We had dummies to practice on during our schooling and more than likely at some point you will have a real person. When you see these people as part of your job it shouldn't be in a perverted way, just saying- they are there for a reason and need some type of medical help. It takes a special person to work in a medical field.

why?..............you planning on being a medical assistant so you can get off on seeing sick people naked?? Besides if you are for real wanting to be one and are just asking because you dont know..........they have to see naked people but you want be thinking about the nakedness because the people will be in need of medical help.

Yes to all of your questions. You see naked people but in the context of a suffering human being who needs help... you touch people with gloves...this is a metaphor also.

I am a registered medical assistant. As a student we learned how to respect peoples privacy and how to drape them if they need to expose a body part. Even when we learned how to do EKGs on each other we still covered everything.

Yes to all three! Some people are so rude and especially at the drs office. If you are worried maybe you better find a different career.

Depends on what medical field they work in, either they see people naked or they don't.
