As someone who has performed rectal examinations, I would say no.

Definitely a job to "outsource".


If you are so squeamish why become a doctor. (assuming that's what you
were and not a sex worker.)

Tim can speak for himself, but I didn't read his remarks as suggesting
he was at all squeamish about it.

Ah yes, I thought by outsource he meant one doctor shifting the task
onto another

On rereading I see he actually just meant not a diy task.

I was letting my own personal experience cloud my judgement.
