Use of Surgical Masks during roleplaying exams

Should Surgical Masks be used during roleplaying exams ?

Masks for safety?

WHY?

What are you going to do that requires a mask?

I have seen many vídeos through internet of medical play using surgical masks that's why i ask 😃

Probably to hide the wearer's identity in the video. 😎

That's definitely true.

Masks, caps and gowns aren't worn for routine exams.

As a mask fetishist, I'll say that I'd think it wouldn't be needed for safety in a fetexam. But for the sake of roleplay, are you bringing immunosuppression into this? Like, does the patient have a disease or transplant or whatever else? In that case, sure! But especially for the patient.

I think so, the doctor or nurse should use to give a touch more in the game

Yes definitely.

Dr. Fish used a mask to hide is identity. I guess you could use them to role-play an exam during COVID. I guess you could use them when role-playing with another Zity person in a live meeting for safety if you could ever get them to come and play.

I know a few patients that would enjoy a masked Doctor, so I'd say it's certainly on the (instrument) table.

Especially in the current climate it seems like a must. Makes everything safer while also adding to the excitement of the exam!

Oh, wow. I posted to this three years ago. So, as was mentioned right before this post, our situation is different now, and so now (mask fetish bias aside), I would think certain medfet exams (the more realistic ones, which is what many prefer) should require masking of the staff and patient. Surgical tie-ons for the staff would be ideal, and a 3M 1860 (a type of N95) for the patient to wear (Stanford actually has certain patients wear a half mask cartridge respirator, like the one here:

, which the fetishist in me likes. But this practice has never been widespread. Mostly just Stanford, and certain voluntary patient situations).

But, as I write this, I am reminded that the mask supply chain has failed, and doctors are having to wear donated cloth masks. So maybe this should be adhered to---for authenticity, anyways.

Definitely in 2020!
