Lesbian, gay, and bisexual health carers face undue anxiety
Lesbian, gay, and bisexual health carers use various strategies in clinical examinations to deal with sexuality. Interviewing 16 healthcare professionals, Riordan (p 1227) found that health carers may be more or less open about their sexuality; desexualisation and interaction strategies help them to manage sexual prejudice; and their sexual identity may facilitate clinical encounters with certain groups of patients. They are under added pressure and not trained to deal with ethical and medicolegal anxieties.
