As a side note I'm surprised that the fear of sexual assault is a reason behind these preferences. I understand it I just find it quite sad that we don't even trust doctors and trained medical staff that are there to help us, not hurt us.

A man can't just request a female nurse or doctor but if there are issues then that obviously has to be considered. Any patient has a right to have a chaperone (normally a health assistant or nurse)
