Is This Normal Practice.

[noviceman1]

I recently visited my GP a female, for a very personal examination.
The GP informed me that it was a ruling that she had to have a chaperone, then rang reception to ask for a receptionist to be present. I did not object at this stage but expected a nurse or medic to be there.
On my next visit I felt a bit embarrassed when the same person dealt with me when picking up my prescription..
Am I being old fashioned or is this quite normal these days...

My sister is a medical receptionist and she has just been on a course so she can be a chaperone if one is requested by a patient or doctor.
