Have You Been Taken Advantage Before?

To all people who once underwent ECG procedure then the preparation and how it is performed is no longer new to you.
Today, I need to have my ECG done at the other lab because the diagnostic center where I used to have my test performed has their machine out of order. No problem with that.
When it's our turn, first thing first is to remove everything metallic we have in our body and of course the upper clothing.
I felt I was being taken advantage at some time of the procedure. At first I thought what happened was just incidental during the attachment of one of the leads in the wrist of my right arm. I understand that he needs to stretch his arm considering the distance to reach my wrist. When you are under the procedure, you have to lie in bed in supine position. When he does the procedure, I sense his arm touches on my property below. Not pressing but enough to be able to feel the weight of his arm although I did not put color about it. When he detached the apparatus from that area again, the action repeats. Would you think it was deliberate?

@hereandthere I hope so. I wasn't worrying about it the last time I had my check-up because it's OK. I'm a bit worried with the two other lab tests as it showed a not good number.

I guess this happened to all of us here. Being taken advantage of is usually the issue when you are generous and accommodating.

@ZedSmart countless of times I have experienced. That's why I am averse when I read someone addressing me as "my friend" because a friend has a deeper meaning. We are colleagues here to mean we are like classmates but not friends.

I tend to think that this is not a deliberate move. At least, this is how it should be. A doctor has to be a true professional.
